If you use OS/2 and own a Movie Machine II or FPS60 Video Overlay Board or think of buying one, you will need OS/2 software for it.

TVKit/2 contains native OS/2 software for these Video Overlay Boards. It supports watching TV with IBM's WarpTV, teletext (information broadcasted by your TV stations) and video image overlaying from external video sources such as cameras or VCR's.

TVKit/2 includes the following software:

• MMPM OS/2 driver that supports WarpTV.
• Teletext/2, a native OS/2 application to receive and display teletext Features:
  • Save/load of teletext pages
  • Copy image/text to clipboard
  • A teletext cache that continually loads pages while you are reading the current one. The cache reduces the usual long load times. Browse through teletext many times faster than you can with your TV set.
• Ticker/2, a REXX programmable tickerline Features:
  • text and bitmaps scroll on your screen
  • variable size bitmaps and text supported
  • REXX programmable
• Teletext REXX API

This is especially useful with Ticker/2. Use the Teletext to retrieve the latest stock quotes or news headlines and display them on the ticker.
