Without getting into your debate about how 1 system compares with another, having only recently towered my A1200 with mediator etc (see sig), I can honestly say this is close to being a perfect Amiga. I can even switch it off using a mouse!

Having said that, it costs a lot to create it compared to a PC and you have to decide whether you want an Amiga or PC to do what you want.

But in general, any graphics card equipped miggy is far, far better than a stock one.

Check www.Amigakit.com for prices; Matthew's service is brilliant and will help with knowledgeable advice.

Most analogue tuners have S-Video or composite so you can plug in any set top box with those connections.

There are many PCMCIA VGA-out cards (EZ2TV, NoteTV-Pro, VoyagerVGA, and many more), but none with drivers for A1200.

An easy way would be an external USB video card like these:

IOGear USB 2.0 External VGA Video Card

CoolGear USB 2.0 SVGA Adapter

But unfortunately the Subway USB for A1200 don't support the USB2.0' hi-speed mode that is required.

Anyway, AGA HAM8 is cool... slow but cool. :)
