Weird old hardware. Need info.

[kengur]

Once upon a time I saw a picture in a computer magazine and article under it saying that it was some sort of a scandoubler/VGA adapter/TV tuner external combo. The problem is that I can`t remember what they called it, nor who produced it.
Does anyone here knows anything about this piece of hardware or any other HW that does the same thing?

There were several different, I think some was advertized still 1-2 years ago. One at least was tested in some Amiga mag, something like Grand TV Amazing.

Some of these are dead and gone, but it gives you a place to start looking. Softhut.com has a model for sale and you can always look for used ones to buy on the net.
