The Internet Archive has 80's episodes of the Computer Chronicles TV show online as full quality MPEG-2 video.
The Amiga appears in several episodes, including one devoted entirely to the Amiga 3000 with a demo of the Video Toaster by Tim Jenison and Paul Montgomery of Newtek. I was apparently the first one to download it yesterday...
You'll need fat pipes to get them; each >30 minute episode is 1.1 GB!
FroggerNG and AMP should be able to play the MPEG-2..
Otherwise they play well with VLC (amiga port anyone?).
Most of the episodes can be found here:
