I have recently been able to pick several stations with a complex combination of tv tuner and dial settings. This setup isn't real feasible unless doing a radio log. It's great to see set pick up several stations. I'm now motivated to make the other converter for better results to cover more of the FM band. There's two versions of the converter shown, a breadboard and a finished point to point solder on a chassis, I guess the later for better selectivity and sensitivity.
If someone tries tv tuner hack, I found moving the FM antenna now to one of tv tuners terminals on top gives best sensitivity. This helped afer changing the delicate shielded cable for IF output of TV tuner to sturdier two wire setup. This caused Brewster tuner to be detuned and tune at new location at 50.5 still receiving well.
Someone needs patience with tv tuner setup, antenna lead position and location, along w/ TV tuner has effect. When changing something as above could detune circuits a little as higher freqs.
