Does anyone owns a VIN (VGA to NTSC) conversion box from the
American Multisystems?  From their ad in Computer Shoppers, I thought it
looks like something which I can use to convert my VGA signal into NTSC
and display on my regular TV (that is, big screen VGA output without
the big price of a 20" VGA monitor).  

I called American Multisystems, the impression they gave me was that the 
VGA signal are NOT continuously converted to NTSC to the TV set, but you
have to push a button or something to get a screen converted into NTSC.  This
would not be helpful since I don't wanna be pushing that "button" all the time
since my hands will be on the joystick or keyboard on my favorite PC game.

Anybody knows anything about this please clear it up.

Thanks in advance.
