I dont get it. Cant you just hook the RF output up to the tv for configuring and playing games and such, and hook up the RGB port of your Amiga to the VGA input on the tv, and use a DBLPAL driver for your workbench? I guess Im missing something, its been 15 years ago.

Well for one the RF output quality is pretty awful, and you'd need to switch between the inputs manually when you launch a game or such, so it's not very optimal. A TV with RGB SCART would be a good choice, but maybe not a possible one in Argentina...

Well, you would only use RF output for hardware-banging stuff ofcourse, there is no other way of getting this to display on LCD anyway (apart from getting an indivision). the VGA output is then used for productivity stuff using DBLPAL. Still worth a try IMO.
 
As for switching between inputs whenever you start a game - this is pretty common these days for Amiga users. I have my Bvision hooked up to the same monitor as my indivision,works pretty well but the switching is indeed manual labour. No problem though.
