"TVShow is a program that, when used in conjunction with BT878-based
cards, brings TV to the OS/2 desktop. I wrote this program because the
existing desktop TV solutions slow down other programs on my OS/2 system.

Current features

* Windowed display of colour and black & white video, through on any
video card supporting DIVE
* Support for PAL and SECAM-encoded colour
* Dynamic regulation of picture parameters
* Channel setup (configurable from video.cfg file)
* Enablement of sound

Note: The last two items have only been tested with AverMedia TVPhone98"
