Video of the Nintendo DS 1seg TV tuner in action

via Engadget


We've seen a couple pretty press photos of the forthcoming DS 1seg TV tuner, but nothing beats video -- and the Japanese promo video unearthed by the crew at Gamebrink delivers the goods in spades.

Apart from the usual orientation and aspect ratio settings, the tuner has some neat extra features -- you can take notes on one screen while watching on the other, and it also can be set to take screenshots whenever the closed captioning changes, allowing you to flip through a show like a picture book later.

Japanese DS fans can get their hands on the 1seg tuner starting on the 23rd, according to Gamebrink. Check the whole video right here.

video wouldnt play for me.
but i saw other pics of it.
it looks more interesting than i thought.

Wow! That video shows a lot of cool features. I've always liked apps for the DS and this looks like it will be one of the better ones!

Wow - if this worked well in the UK I'd buy it in a heartbeat
