I'm still 'playing' with this setup, the buttons are hooked temporarily
into a keyboard encoder, the software will always be 'under development'
and I'm still wary of the TV screen.

At first glance, it looks good - a lot better than the pics would have you
believe, but I'm beginning to think that having spent so much time and
money already it would be daft NOT to go the LCD route.

I've talked to a few suppliers, had a look down the back of the sofa,
found a few pennies - and am thinking hard ;)

With careful use of colours to get the required contrast, you can run
these little 5.5" TV's at 800x600 remarkably well.

Roy.
