Does your TV support RGB (via SCART connector, maybe?)

In which case you could drive your TV from the Pundit's VGA output
using an interlaced modeline.  I wrote to Thomas earlier about that
and he said that the driver will do an interlaced mode on the VGA
port.  And he believes XVideo will work on an interlaced mode.

You will need a sync combining circuit - there are some around on the
web - and the right wiring.

Anyway - I have a suitable cable so I'll try it when my Pundit box
turns up.
