[9fans] Peter Bosch's TV software

[lucio]

Long ago Peter Bosch developed and distributed rather narrowly a "tv"
command that used the #V device successfully.

As devtv.c is not documented in the man pages and I cannot find an
entry in sources, does anyone know where I may be able to get hold of
the necessary additional code?

You might have to go personal to Peter Bosch, too :)

I may have the code, I might even have a haupage card somewhere.

The card had an rf tuner and a composite (maybe y/c) input and as such is more 
than a little dated in these Meg 2/4 broadcast days (in the uk at least).

That would be Cisco.

I found a PlayTV Pro (pixelview) atapter on eBay for a $1US (shipping from 
Greece cost quite a bit more than that) and I was hoping to use it.  I don't 
really know what may need adjusting, but it is recognised.

We haven't migrated to HD here yet, although TV sets are available.
But it's only to distract me :-)

that's a new warning that I think is in error.  I don't remember the details.
