Tiny "Retro Cable Box" for CRT televisions.

[SeanSIMPLETHINGS]

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.

Your idea of transforming the 13-inch CRT televisions into retro, channel-flipping nostalgia machines using a Tiny TV-style player is great for capturing that old-school cable experience! It’s much more immersive than the traditional analog TV converter boxes, which can feel clunky with their media player-like interfaces. To get the experience of browsing through retro "channels" with the same satisfying channel-flipping action as Tiny TV, you could consider a couple of technical solutions to replicate this aesthetic and function.
