You asked a dozen questions and considered a number of permutations,
but I thought I'd add that you can use a VCR to perform some
conversions: RF Ch. 3/4 to composite and audio, or vice-versa.

Standalone boxes from Radio Shack can do this, too. My junk
habit has revealed the existence of nice modular RF converters
inside discarded Primestar decoder boxes, which you can find by
the Dumpster-full behind satellite dealer stores.
