I have a perfectly good 27" analog tube TV...... but
only has one input....a coaxial input to the tuner.

In order to use this TV for SD digital reception I am
looking for a VCR or DVD recorder that has atsc tuner
but also has built in RF modulator.

Does anyone know if such units exist that are atsc and
can be used on ch 3?

Your government is taking care of you. ;-) (I assume you're in the
USA).

Got to http://www.dtv2009.gov or call 1-888-DTV-2009 and give them
the details (fill in the form or do the voice mail stuff) and they'll
(if you qualify) send you up to two coupons for $40 each to buy a dtv
convertor box, which are supposed to be on sale real soon now for $50
to $70.

The models that qualify for the subsidy are stripped down and
only produce NTSC composite and/or RF outputs. There's a page
on the web site with a list.

The Zenith DTT900 (that I download the spec. sheet for) has
an RF output.

Some units are already out there. I just saw a posting that a
qualified Magnavox unit was at somebody's Walmart.
(There have been ATSC tuners out there for several years, but it
hasn't been worth $350 for me to bother 'till now.)
