I would be interested in the answer to this too!  Besides the "PIC video
pong" approach (discussed in this list some time ago), what is the most
straight forward approach to generating video?  For example, what video IC
and support chips (including video memory) should be used to implement NTSC
video, in a cost-effective manner?

Surely some of you PICsters have experience doing this.....
