Hey, it wasn't "my" idea! I said I wasn't up on VCRs. I just asked the
question as posed to me to ask! With all the stuff I see in this newsgroup,
hell I thought maybe someone would have thought of such a thing. Oh well, I
suppose that idea was far fetched too!

It's an absolutely appropriate question. Ignore the responses that suggest
this is the most stupid ever asked.

Sure, it's easy to go and buy an LCD TV. It could be much more rewarding
to put one together from parts, even if it does end up looking like something
held together with duct tape and bailing wire.

Wow...what a brilliant idea!!....so whatcha gonna call it ...a magic
picture
machine?....or maybe a phantasmagorical moving picture projector???....or
if
all else fails....maybe even a TV!!!.
So lets get this straight...you want to know how to build a lcd tv, using
a
vcr as the tuner!!!!!!????????.
Ok, first spend a couple of months, and a couple of thousand $'s...or walk
down to wal-mart and buy one.

I'm not that involved - really not even enough to say using one - with
VCRs.
A friend of mine asked me about a project he has in mind. He has a LCD
"display". He wants to know if he could take the Tuner out of a VCR, hook
up
the necessary voltages and cables for the Antenna in/out, as well as
video/audio - to the LCD display, to make it work like a TV? If not, any
alternatives?

Your thoughts?

Thanks,
