Hello all,

I have been trying to materialize my (maybe wicked) ideas. I am trying
to use a broken tv and a spare monitor (LCD) to watch television. This
means that I use the reception print of the TV only, to convert the
antenna signal and the monitor to watch these. It works (simply as an
extra monitor), but I the monitor does not display videotext. This is
not the biggest problem, I also cannot see the OSD of the TV. For
example the menu to seek programs... This is a problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have been thinking in the direction of
connection some wires in the SCART (the only output of the TV print).
But which? and where to?


Two problems

1. Within the original TV tuner, videotext and OSD are RGB signals. These are not normally output on the SCART connector - you would have to arrange this.

2. If your LCD monitor is using CVBS then you will need to mix these RGB signals. Could be difficult, it is unlikely your monitor has a "fast blanking" input that might help here. However, you could use the LCD monitor's RGB input (VGA socket?) and manually switch over to that input.
