    I have this. It’s been on my wishlist ever since I was little and now that i have some disposable income I bought it. Unfortunately the analog signal has been disabled for years, but there’s a jack on the tuner that allows you to connect composite video (with a special cable to go from the yellow, red and white to a single 3.5mm jack).

    I played some Xbox on it, for the novelty. The screen is small, the resolution is low, the lcd isn’t very clear in some cases, … I love it.

    There are special kits to replace the screen with a modern crisp led screen, but they are not compatible with the tuner, something to keep in mind.

      You know the devices that take audio and convert it to a radio signal for your car?

      We need the same thing but for old analog tv signals.

        You can find YouTube videos of people doing this for the GG TV Tuner. Usually involves a VCR iirc.

        Plenty of those exist. They were given out like mad when the analog to digital switch was happening. Little boxes that would convert digital TV signals to analog for viewing on old TV’s.
