Does anyone know of a product that will take an RF out and convert it into RCA out?

For example, I want to take an Atari 2600 RF out and plug it into an TV with RCA jacks?

Anyone know?

I think I've seen a few RF Demodulator (or something like that) at RadioShack that basically does the oposite of an RF Modulator...

This has been kicked around a couple of times already.

The easiest way is with a VCR. Use a RF to Coax adapter to go into the VCR, and use the RCA outs on the VCR to run to your television.

Edit: Here 'tis.

Thanks Flack. By the way, how did you find that? I punched "rf rca" into the search feature before I posted and found nada...

I make a regular sacrifice to the search engine god.

(And I remembered that Earl used a VCR, so I searched for that.)
