How to connect to television ? tv-out isnt supported.

That's great news !! Freescale is now selling the Pegasos solution !!

Catohagen,

This may help ;)

t looks like this card is on Harald Frank's list of AmithlonTV-supported devices: here.

Try it with AmithlonTV. There is other software like Visionary that you can try too. ( from Velcro sp :)

you are confusing tv-cards with tv-out on gfx cards like Radeon,
where you can view your ambient desktop on your TV, and using
this for viewing divx movies directly from your computer instead
of converting them to VCD->lower quality>and burn to cd's.

tv-cards are used to get a video/tv signal on your desktop,
wich are a pretty useless feature if you ask me.

@catohagen:

Well, it depends on what you want to do and how your home is laid out. If you want to combine your TV and your computer system, and have one convergence device, then a TV card is the way to go. You can get nice speakers and "converge" your stereo too.

But if that's not your style, then I guess it is a little useless. Well wait, its still not useless because you might want to copy clips of your TV shows for email to friends and you can copy camcorder footage with a TV card too. I'm not sure how well AmithlonTV or Visionary or the other (there is at least one more TV card software, can't recall the name) support that though. The other feature I would like to see developed is support for remote controls.

What you want to do IIRC (I think this came up before) is to run a cable from your Pegasos to your large TV so you can kick back and watch a DIVX on the TV or whatever. It would be nice to do this with video-out port on your Radeon but I think the more practical way is to get two pieces of hardware: 1) a VGA splitter cable, and 2) a VGA to S-Video out converter. No guarantees because I certainly haven't done it but I think you just connect that stuff and it should work. Should be inexpensive.

I do not know if a goal of MOS 1.5 is to get this Radeon video output working. Maybe. It'd be nice.

PS: I am sure that text from the Freescale webpage was just clipped from somewhere. Hopefully no-one will purchase a Pegasos from them with the idea to plug it into his TV set and run MorphOS. ;)
