TV card with RF connection, then you can window the tv card input, and use pc at same time.
If you got CD32 then you can S - VIDEO it, instead of RF.

I use PCMCIA TV card on my pc-laptop. It sucks big time... I guess those PCI cards are much better.

TV card is a TV at the end of the day, cant see a laptop 1 being better then a desktop 1 and vice-versa. Mines fine unless im viewing TV on it. By that I mean if im running my CD32 in on Phono or S-Video, then the pic is perfect, using normal RF pic sucks. Hence why plasma and LCD suck as TV`s.

what kinda of fool would use RF on a plasma or LCD anyway??  digital freeview is dirt cheap these days and Amiga composite-out looks great on my LCD, as does my PC..... it's only when i start watching lower-quality computer video (i.e. my ipod contents) on it i start complaining, and that's only becasue its so crisp its showing all the blemishes!

*cough cough* even freeview looks junk, ;). smudging and smearing every where and thats on scart, HD is the way to go, but you have to buy all the equipment to use it (yes peeps, having a HD ready TV, wont give you HD on its own, despite what the sales manager at currys says).

Bows out of this 1, dont even get me started on cheap crappy, 5 Watt, 1 Ohm TV speakers (im exagerating obviously, but thats the stupid speaker ratings on £1500 LCD`s).

the best way is to have a old bigass television and then hook you're c64 up. It even has that original load times, and ofcourse old-school grafics... hehe  :P

the best thing is to live on the top floor of really tall block of flats and then introduce the C64 to the ground below, via the window.... and then buy a ZX Spectrum.
