I had F.R.E.D. -- the Friendly Recoton Entertainment Decoder which I believe was a product of Rhodes. It did not need its own tuner. It had to be attached--but not actually connected-- to the TV set. Instead it picked up the set's audio IF from a little probe. It worked perfectly, and since my TV set had a stereo receiver built in (yeah turntable and all, one of those) it went from a mono to stereo a TV by changing nothing but a pair of cables. This was early in 1987, shortly after the local NBC affiliate became the first in the area broadcasting in stereo.
