Any TE TV tuner owners here?

[Dylan1CC]

While waiting for stuff like Mario Kart, AC, Tokobot and Popolocrois to be relased, I have taken a break from both my DS and PSP for awhile and have started playing my Turbo Express at work again (portable Bonk, Air Zonk, R-TYPE, Gradius, Twinbee, Parodius and Kyukyouku Tiger = bliss).

One item I am finally curious enough to buy is the TE TV tuner. Anyone here own it and if so how much can i expect to pay and what's the quality, reception, ect? I might like to have this for when my co-workers insist on watching Mind of Mencia.

Yo Dylan1CC,

I've got a TurboExpress with the optional TurboVision TV Turner Adapter. It works just fine although you rotate a dial to change the TV stations. On some local stations, the picture is crystal clear. Expect to pay about $70-$80 for a used one. You can even use a stereo pair of RCA phonojacks to headphone adapter as a simple A/V input jack for other A/V input sources as well!

I've even hooked up my Supergun & played some arcade shmup PCBs on the TurboExpress via the above listed headphone adapter setup. Very cool option!

Radio Shack even sells a mini LCD TV antenna adapter with 1/4" headphone adapter output (for hooking up your full-sized TV antenna to a mini LCD-type TV monitor)...I bought one of those as well.

It is even possible to hook up a camcorder or even a home game console to a TE equipped with an optional TurboVision TV Adapter and a headphone adapter setup.

My original post on the NEC TurboExpress TurboVision TV Turner Adapter has more new info as to being able to hook up cool A/V devices such a RGB-to-NTSC output Supergun, etc. Check it out!

Sorry, I missed your replies. Thanks for all the great info, X!

I already knew you could use it as a console display but I never thought of using it to display PCBs. Matt made me a supergun-TV adaptor which I have used on my RCA television before, so whenever I get a TE tuner I will have to try it out.
