The RF distribution amplifier system should not modify the stereo carrier.

You should verify if the model is truly a stereo TV with the RF inputs. I
have seen some low cost models not be able to decode stereo from the RF
input. This is where they recommend to use a VCR or an external TV tuner
unit for receiving cable stations in stereo.

Have you thought about putting out a few extra dollars and buying a good TV
set???


The answer is...the analog section does not have an MTS decoder. The
digital channels (which I did not know that I could receive on cable
without a box, but I can) are in stereo. Therefore, this TV is a piece
of crap in regard to its audio performance. Back it goes.

If this set were my main set, I would buy a better one. Since it is in a
small bedroom, the amount I paid is the limit that I wish to spend.

Which "good" CRT do you recommend? Samsung appears to be a good one, but
I don't buy anything with their name on it, so I am limited.

There is a 27" Philips on sale in today's paper. Any thoughts on that one?
