If it's from the '80's, it will have UHF tuning. If it's "cable ready", it will have a switch to select between "cable" and "air". Cable channel 73 is different than off the air channel 73. If the set is not cable ready and the satellite receiver requires cable channel 73, you may have a problem. Does this set have two knobs for channel selection or does it use pushbuttons? Some of these sets had a 12 or 14 button tuner where the channel of your choice could be set for each button. If the satellite receiver requires cable channel 73 and your TV is not cable ready, you can use a cable ready VCR to receive the signal and then use the TV on channel 3. You can also run an RCA cable from the audio output jacks of the VCR to your stereo.
Not to rain on your parade; but, if you want a good '80's TV, you might want to find something besides a goldstar. Goldstar sets were of cheaper quality and they are known for flyback transformer failures and/or weak CRT's. Something like a Sony, RCA, Toshiba, etc. would probably be more reliable.
