PSP 1seg TV Tuner Compatible Only With PSP Slim

i dont mind it cause im buying the slim XD

Why is everyone moaning - look at it from the other side, I had to disk swap with my ST just because a tiny percentage of the userbase still had 512K drives, unlike the more common 1-Meg ones!

My second PSP sold on eBay last week for £116, and the money is in the bank for a slim, can't wait for it to come out!

its worth upgrading if cracked for the extra 32mb ram especially if games like god of war f*** us up and require all 64mb leaving us old users behind :/

wait isnt 1seg only in japan? why should i care?

i was wondering why anyone would really care considering this. [unless you are in japan, then you should care.]

we dont need the $#@!y tv tuner from sony we have remotejoy=P

kjetil1991, the TV tuner is for getting digital television signals (that's right, such as NRK1 & TV2 (though I doubt the tuner will work here)). But you're right as for the video output the Slim version has. It's needless when we have Remotejoy.

been searching over the net if anyone is interested to take a crack at the tv tuner...i read from psp-hacks that it was also compatible with the phat so i checked out the site which led me to a japanese blog demonstrating how to modify the phat to recieve 1seg broadcast...i tried it out and it did work but the signal is way lower compared to the slim still, it goes to show that it does work for the phat. i know 1seg only works in japan but what im after now is if someone knowledgeable about broadcasting be kind enough to check if we can alter the system inside the tuner to receive other frequencies aside from what 1seg is broadcasting....

2 things i need to start with,
1. can the tv tuner system be dumped to the memory stick?
2. can the system be tweaked to receive local frequencies?

hope someone is interested and help me search if dumping and tweaking the system is possible.

heres a sample of my phat using the tv tuner :

i will start caring when this thing starts doing something in the us.
