Using an ATSC receiver is a good idea. If you cannot find one that has an SVGA output, you could connect your SVGA monitor by using the component ports. Many ATSC receivers allow you to output either component or RGB video through the component output connectors. Therefore you would switch the output to RGB, and get a cable that breaks out the D-sub SVGA connector to RGB or build the cable yourself. Many premade cables break it out to RGB and Sync, but monitors should be able to detect sync-on-green so the extra sync connections on the cable are not used.

I was able to drive a regular old Dell 17" LCD monitor with it no problem. The quality was quite good.
