If you need a simple circuit diagram to connect a TV set to your
Linux and see the picture on TV set, look at this

Circuit has been successfully tested and can be used for:

  • Making Linux PC even cheaper
  • Redundant old TV set and building a cheap router
  • Wanna insert captions into your own video programme
  • Wanna make a videotape “How to use Linux” 😉

Eric Fletcher pointed us to
this
CNN story

has advertised in the free weekly local magazine

Here is another 24 hour support center. They are also selling
hardware while supporting the hardware they sell. I believe, I

available in the near future.
