Good score Davy. Analogue TV's are fantastic to use with our AstroVideo cameras. We have hundreds of thousands of cheap Analogue TV's in Australia at the moment, many free. They finally changed over the last of the states to Digital a few months ago, meaning that all the old Analogue TV's are useless unless you want to connect a Digital encoder Set-Top-Box. But you can buy a small Digital TV for only a bit more than they want for the set-top boxes! There are excellent condition Analogue TV's sitting out in the street hoping someone will take them, thousands gone to the Rubbish Tip, thousands more in second hand shops for $10 - $50. It's an Analogue TV collectors dream here's a perfect example: www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/coolum-beach/tv-dvd-players/40-sony-television/1032328152

Yes John, and it is better. A LOT better I use a little 4" B&W analogue CRT monitor and it is fantastic!!!!!! It shows some really faint nebula's in a matter of 2 seconds! yet I can't see those ones on my Laptop or a LED or LCD TV for about 14+ seconds.
