- And now to something completely different...
-
- http://www.amiga.de/de/Aktuelles/Tysch2.html:
- <...>
- Another product will be the black box. This is a set top box that will
- feature an enhanced A1200 core, along with all connectors needed for
- communication, printing, audio in and out and a remote control.
- It will have a HI-FI-like design that will be created by Frog design.
- The product will of course be equipped with a CD ROM drive and a floppy
- disk drive.
- <...>
-
- If nobody else mentions it I'll have to do it :-)
- I miss the words { genlock, tuner, videotext } in the list. It would be
- really nice to have a genlock in the standard black box so it can
- display amiga windows in the running TV program, maybe even control
- the video recorder and HIFI system (are there standard connectors for
- such remote control tasks? probably to many to support them all :-( )
- A videotext decoder could cache all pages and make videotext really
- usable for the first time ... :-)
- And finally a tuner might be able to give you a PIP (picture in picture)
- feature.
- By the way: is a modem required for an "interactive" set top box?
