From the handbook, downloadable as a .pdf from
http://www.nbtv.wyenet.co.uk/hot.htm this appears to be a 30-line (not 32-line) system.

Yes this should indeed be possible, even though it apparently won't work from the readily-available NBTVA CDs.
I should also be able to plug one of the colour channels from my 30-line mechanical camera into it for live pictures - and also view the kit CD at higher quality (in one colour) on my monitor.

When trying to film my own system off-screen, I didn't have this LED shine-through problem, as my monitor has 120 LEDs (not 1) and they all mix on a diffusing screen behind the disc. However I did have the black bar problem. So that animation I recently posted was assembled from individual still frame captures.
