Amiga1 couldn't do it, PegasosI/II couldn't do it, but the C64DTV did do it.

The Commodore C64 DTV looks very exciting unit, PAL launch will be April 2005 in the UK.

Now wouldn't it be really good if Amiga Inc licenced an A1200 in as a driect to tv device?

That would really kickstart the Amiga market- plenty of interest in retro devices at the moment.

I thought the world was fresh out of AGA chipsets and stuff?

Fair point. That said, the amiga already is a DTV device :-) I know what you mean though...

Someone would have to come up with the Amiga chipset on a chip or maybe a minature UAE computer.

I've often wondered about the boxer style approach of using some FPGAs. I don't see it as a trivial task with the available information though. If it were done, I'd like to see  a little more horespower though, specifically in the memory interface (that Access Amiga Clone thing had much faster chip ram access than any other amiga machine) and preferably a faster CPU, even if it were only an 030.
