Analog TV tuners for retro-handhelds

[Spyrone]

So, anybody check this video from Macho Nacho Productions out? I never knew that any of these handhelds had that capability- if I had, I would've begged my parents for the GBA, because even local analog TV stations were far better quality than the ultra-compressed SpongeBob episodes and the like that they put on their video cartridges. Hell, maybe I could've even gotten somewhere where the local Fox affiliate would come in, and watched Family Guy, Futurama, King of the Hill and The Simpsons on my GBA. :D Shit, Tito even went all out and got an HDMI-RF-Modulator so he could actually use them, which is dope and now I want one of those too.

Macho Nacho has a good collection of those peripherals with TV Tuner support but unfortunately the Analog TV became obsolete in favor of the Digital TV which is the Current one.

I was JUST about to mention the Game Gear TV Tuner, but... This video's THUMBNAIL has beaten me to it lol!

I would like to actually use this baby but in my country there is no analog TV signal anymore so it would be pointless but I would like to add it to my watch collections lol:

Well, like I mentioned before Tito went out and bought an HDMI-RF-Signal converter so he could actually try them out, for the most part. Funnily enough, the digital tuners for the PSP and NDS were the only ones he couldn't show off because they used the 1Seg standard and he lives in the States. Though, if you live in say Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uraguay, Paraguay, the Phillippines, Peru or Japan you can still pick up channels. Also, the DS one actually has Game & Watch games on them as an easter egg. This is documented in the video.
