I am looking for a circuit which would take cable tv inputs
(one is the regular cable, the other the output of the converter
box on channel 3) and output the regular cable up to (about) 
channel 60, then put the converter channel on a high channel
(say 65).  

I know Radio Shack sells a block converter to shift cable TV channels
to non-cable channels, but I need a way to not only shift the channel
but to merge the two signals together.
Basically I am looking for a way to use the cable box for HBO, and
yet still allow my VCR's tuner to tune in HBO plus any other non-
scrambled channel...

Anybody have this or know where I could find one?  Or, for that matter,
if anybody has a box to do that for sale?
