Abstract

An apparatus and method for displaying a television signal on a computer monitor first receives a selected first field data block of the television signal for display by the monitor. The television signal preferably includes a stream of first field data blocks and second field data blocks that are intended for display by respective first and second sets of lines on the computer monitor. After receipt of the first field data block, an immediately preceding second field data block is faded to produce a faded second block. The faded second block then is displayed on the second set of lines of the monitor, and the first field data block is displayed on the first set of lines of the monitor.
