MarketTantrik Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 DS TV Tuner Dated, Priced For Japan From Kotaku http://kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo-ds/ds-tv...apan-314869.php __________________________________________________ And nowhere else, so cool your jets. Nintendo have announced that their official TV tuner dongle thingy for the DS will hit Japan on November 20, and will set Japanese consumers back ¥6800 (USD$59). Not cheap for what you get, but then, what price convenience and portability? Importers beware: it's a one-seg tuner. __________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinitwins Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 http://www.answers.com/topic/1seg Almost a year after the 1seg trial started, the purpose of the service is still unclear. Mobile reception is difficult, especially in a moving vehicle/train, as the signal quality deteriorates quickly even at speeds around 20 km/h (12 mph). This leaves the majority of the target audience for this service unable to receive it. In-car reception requires use of diversity antenna and increases receiver complexity and price. Handheld 1seg receivers generally do not work well at all in moving cars or trains, even when held by a window because the signal drops out every few seconds. There is minimal or no reception in trains that are underground, or go inside buildings, such as most of the commuter trains in Tokyo. In addition, long distance trains, especially the shinkansen, move from one service area to another in a matter of minutes, making it impossible to view a program to completion before having to scan for a new set of channels and find whatever local channel may be broadcasting the program in question. Handheld 1seg receivers work well inside homes, although it may be necessary to be near a window and/or adjust the antenna for reception. However, a home user can watch HDTV on a large screen TV instead of a 320x180 small screen 1seg. :roflroll2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 neat concept - but... 1) resolution on the DS sucks 2) the only thing i can think of with this is of use while commuting. can you imagine hanging out of a mumbai train or bangalore auto with the DS? yeah right! and what over the air programming is available for us? but I drool and I drool - because it's the DS. I shall curb my enthusiasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
