I also loved my DCTV.  Only drawback of course was that the output was composite.  It would be great to hack one into s-video or RGB.  I may be interested in buying another one... I don't know what I'd use it for, but I always thought it would have been cool to write a DCTV workbench monitor driver and display 24bit workbench..

But to answer the original question, you can't use it as a composite out for normal use. You need an A520 adapter.

Now, a better solution though is to get the neobitz board and convert RGB->s-video.  It's $30 in kit form.

Someone should look inside and see if they can pull the s-video from the board before it is combined into composite.

I have one on the way and will do that when it arrives :)
