I'm definitly not a handy hardware person but I have done just this with a VCR
and a CBM 1080 monitor. The monitor has everythiing you need for a decent 
color TV except the tuner, and the VCR supplies this. I've got my cable 
connection running into my VCR and then the line out going to the composite
picture plug on the monitor. The monitor has a switch on front that goes 
RGB and composite so I can switch easily back and forth. While I'm working on
the Amiga I can still hear what is going on on the TV so I can switch when need
be. And it makes for a good picture.
