Thanks. Sounds pretty gruesome.
Thanks for trimming
BUT, could use a LITTLE context. WHICH "solution" is gruesome?
To summarize, . . .
Coco has RF channel 3 output, with almost-NTSC available with trivial
mods.
You need anything that can display composite almost-NTSC,
OR
anything that can tune analog channel 3 (USA spec) foloowed by whatever
can display what you get. A "TV card" is a TV tuner - you just need one
that can do analog channel 3. OR the tuner of a VCR OR the tuner of a DVD
recorder OR some cable boxes OR some closed caption external boxes.
OR any TV that has analog input - look at Digital Prism 7" for about $50

I thought it was you since my newsreader preserves the threading, but I see
my phone I posted from doesn't include an In-Reply-To: header or perhaps it
was filtered somewhere. I will try not to trim from my phone any more.

Thank you.
I don't have any TV or video gear. I want to be able to display this on a
monitor and the TV card id sounds like it would be ok. I rememberd the COCO
had RF output and an adapter to go right onto the antenna terminals of a
TV. I just did not know since I don't have the TV card where I can get to
it right now, whether there was any obvious way to connect a signal, or if
those cards were designed with built-in antennas and no jacks (as I believe
Cameron said the cheap ones have no jacks).

Naah. Keep trimming. We tend to leave an amazing amount of irrelevant
transcript in posts!

Yes, you will need to be selective about TV cards. Look for ones with
composite inputs, and with detachable antennas (hence an antenna
connector). Composite out for Coco should be readily researched; if not,
Doctor Marty should still remember.
I find it hard to accept that the seemingly infinite supply of used
composite monitors is finally gone.
