Default Audio tuner shot on discontinued LCD TV

Recently, I picked up a 17-inch Sampo LCD television and discovered
that every few seconds the sound flips into an ugly buzz, returning to
normal after a few seconds and then cycling over and over. Before
junking it I (aka newbie) had a brainstorm and hooked it up the Sampo
via coaxial to a TIVO box that had been sitting around and, after
killing the Sampo's sound via volume control, ran a couple of Radio
Shack speakers off the TIVO's RCA outputs. Sound is now normal.

With basic cable, I do not have the luxury of sound ports coming off a
converter box. Would it be possible to split the coaxial and run one
lead into some sort cheap receiver that will pass along the video and
divert the audio to external speakers? How about an old VHS recorder?

As long as you have a decent signal strength from your cable provider,
what you say sounds ok. A cheap splitter should do the trick if the
signal is ok, otherwise radio shack sells a small amplifier you could
put in front of the splitter if the signal is not strong enough.
