Small AVR-based TV terminal

Terminal with ATmega8, RS232 interface and TV out by Vasilis Serasidis.
The ATmega TV Terminal is a simple project that connects together a keyboard, serial communication port & TV video output. The idea of course is to make the TV the output terminal. If you're into AVR's this is definitely a project you can learn alot from. PCB schematics, source code & an indepth project write-up are all there.
