Video of the DS 1seg TV tuner attachment in action

GameBrink has posted a pretty intensive look at the new 1seg TV tuner for the Nintendo DS. All of it comes from a Japanese TV spot which shows the new tuner attachment in action. You can read about a few of the 1seg TV tuner's features below. First, here's the video:



According to GameBrink, aside from acting as the remote control, the DS's touch screen can also be used for jotting down notes. It's especially useful when watching cooking shows and the like. The 1seg tuner also lets users take a snapshot of a show when the captioning changes, essentially turning a TV show into a kind of picture book.

Users can also change the aspect ratio of a TV show on the DS screen if they want to view all the action on a show that has an aspect ratio of 16:9, for example. The tuner also comes with a special mountable antenna for getting hard to reach signals.

The Nintendo DS 1seg TV tuner attachment will become available in Japan on November 23 for a suggested retail price of 6,800 yen (about US$ 60).

First it was the PSP that could connect to your TV to broadcast your PSP games. Now it's this. Who knows what Nintendo has instore for this handheld.



It'd be interesting to see how this fully turns out or if you can see channels beyond 12.

Imagine the possibilities for the DS... TV... Chatting devices... VoIP communications... movies, music, internet browsing, games.......................we can have the "have-it-all" device Sony promised with theire PSP but could never deliver, with support not only from comercial companies but from homebrewers as well. The future looks and taste sweet!
