Does anyone on the net know anything about the proposed format for
the networks broadcasting in stereo?  The latest info that I got 
is that NBC has been sporadically broadcasting stereo of the 
Tonight Show since July 26, and that ABC only broadcast selected
cuts of the Olmypics in stereo.  I know that PBS is planning on
nationwide stereo before the end of 85.  

I just bought a Beta HiFi.  It doesn't make sense to me to go buy
a stereo TV receiver.  I'm going to run raw video to my TV (after
I gut the tuner, which is shot anyway).  Since the Beta will always
be set to channel 3 output, I want to make a separate decoder box
so I can run the stereo signals into the Beta in the simulcast mode
and to the audio amplifier for listening.  So far I haven't been 
able to find anything out about the format of the encoding.  Most
people I've talked to THINK it is either similar to or the same as
FM stereo.  If not the same, just a different pilot frequency with
extended frequency response.  Does ANYBODY know?
