I know this sounds like a *REALLY* dumb question =) but does/can a mono vcr 
output a stereo signal over the coax output? I don't think there's anyway it 
could for tapes, since the stereo signals are stored totally independantly 
from the mono signal (so a mono vcr won't even touch them).
But will the converter in VCRs (or other equiptment) output a stereo siganl, 
even though technically they're 'mono'? I'm not sure how the stereo signal is 
encoded into regular VHF transmissions - i assume it's independant of the 
mono signal, but perhaps not. It would also depend on the converter i suppose 
- if it actually splits everything apart (which it might do, in order to 
generate separate signals for the regular audio/video line-outs (RCA plugs) 
that most VCRs have) and jams it back together again, or if it just filters 
out all the other channels execpt the one in question..
anyways, i dunno if i'm too clear here, but perhaps someone will understand 
me and know ;) thanks
ttyl, greg
