Gosh, I've already done this, since way back in '86 on my amiga 1000.
Technical features: 
		1. Full screen full color, and full resolution of TV
		2. Takes _NO_ CPU power!
		3. Completely transparent!

For only $20 a pop, I'll send you details for the complete setup!

Oh, ok, I'll tell you for free.
I just hooked my VCR output (which has a TV tuner) into the composite in
on my amiga 1080 monitor.  While I was compiling, I would simply switch the
monitor from RGB to Composite.  I would watch bullwinkle and Rocky every
day, while I worked on my program.  The only way to program! 

You know, computers are not _always_ better than the real thing! :-) ;-) :-)
