Quote from: SeanSIMPLETHINGS on January 10, 2024, 07:12:25 PMThat's a really cool project! The nostalgia factor of using 13-inch CRTs with old footage is amazing. I totally agree that the Tiny TV-style player would be a game-changer for this setup. Having a bank of retro "cable" channels with instant startup and seamless channel flipping would make it feel way more authentic, compared to the clunky media player interface on analog TV converters.
Slice Master I have set up a few 13 inch CRT televisions as novelty or decor items for my friends. I outfit them with an analog TV converter box with a USB media player. They play old video footage on USB.
The Tiny TV style player would be so much better for these things. Loading up a bank of retro "cable" channels, Startup and go with no menu diving (the menus the analog converters have are difficult to view on small CRT's anyway) and having the channel flipping action like the Tiny TV has would be awesome & nostalgic. My old analog converters work like a media player rather than a retro cable box.
