Monitor died... what now?

[textory]

Hi,

a friend of mine just mailed me that his C1084 monitor died. He's now a bit desperate. In the place where he lives (Extremadura/Spain - which is not exactly what I'd call a centre of microelectronics and computerhardware ... just bulls and sheep, cheese and chorizo;-) he won't find Amiga Hardware. He also has a PIII-Notebook and a TV-Monitor (PAL with cinch video input). That's his equipment.

I never tried to connect my A2000 to the TV because the TV got no video-in, just the old fashioned HF-antenna, so I cannot try myself. Therefore I ask you guys:

What could he do? Any suggestions to bring his A2000 back to the screen until he finds an adequate monitor? Just connecting the video-out of the A2000 with the video-in of the tv? Or does he need a HF-modulator in between...?

Thanks in advance

Indeed, the scandoubler really is an option. Thanks for the link.

But I'd like to know how (and if) it works to connect a pal tv to the Amiga via video-out... You know it could take some time to receive things ordered from an internet shop, and in the meantime the Amiga should not wait in a corner ;-)
