The Toaster allows you to do much more, but if that is all you want, there are
much cheaper ways of doing this on an Amiga - indeed the A600 has a built in
modulator for use with a TV instead of a monitor. You probably want better
quality than that though - genlocks and encoders are available over a wide
price range (genlock will allow you to overlay your computer graphics on live
video).

The PC equivalent of a Toaster is a Toaster - the PC version of this is an 
Amiga with the badge covered by a Toaster badge and a serial cable and a
front end running on the PC to control it. The Mac version is similar.
