Is mts stereo TV same as stereo TV?

In general, the answer is yes, "mts stereo tv" is the same as "stereo tv". MTS, which stands for Multichannel Television Sound, is one of the names used to label the US standard for 2-channel (stereo) sound. The other, more technically accurate lablel, is BTSC, for Broadcast Television Systems Committee, the group which authorized the standard. The BTSC standard is used to transmit and receive stereo audio for analog TVs. Digital TVs (HDTV) does not use the BTSC standard, and its various sound formats are not labeled MTS.

The short answer is you can't; if the TV only has a mono receiver the stereo information isn't available. However, most modern TVs have digital receivers or NICAM decoders, if you're TV is one of these types, then there may well be phono's on the back of the set for sound out or a headphone socket - these can be connected to a domestic hi-fi to improve the sound and should be in stereo.

What makes and models of VCR have stereo sound on the RF output signal?

Stereo VCRs have extra connections on the back to send the stereo to the TV or monitor. I don't believe you will find one with a stereo RF output. If you want to send a stereo audio signal to another room hook up a stereo modulator to the stereo RCA ouputs of the VCR and connect a MTS compatible TV to the coax at the other end and you will get the stereo audio.
