Its not a DVB Tuner so I think it can only be used in Japan. OH:

is this the 1seg tuner you are refering to? If so no it only works in japan.

 

yup there's only the 1seg thingy and only works in japan.

but its utter trash.

people are reporting there's bad signal everywhere throughout the country and it can't even be used in the train or bus, because if you move to fast with the receiver, the receiver-unit has connection-problems. its a big flop, also due to the technology used.

the european version should be better, hope its gonna use dvb-h.

 

1seg is fine it's the PSP adaptor that's turd. There are two forms of 1seg digital TV now. One runs at 15fps and looks pretty crap and the other runs at 30fps with a much higher bandwidth for cleaner images. Both my phone and in car Nave have 1seg and work at high speeds with no problems. Never use it in the car though because that also has real digital TV like you have at home :thumbsup: Not that there's anything worth watching on it though

too bad it won't work here too

maybe someday they'll make a suitable one for europe...

 

you have streaming digital tele in your car? does this mean the internets in japan over GPRS or similar is that cheap?!

 

1 Seg on my phone is fine on the train also. The quality is good and I have recorded a few programs. I have only saved them for language purposes, because as Yakumo says, most of the programs are based around "celebrities" and stupid goings on. The adverts can be funny though... usually in a kind of "is this Earth?" way.

 

i believe that the internet is the cheapest over here for what you get!

i have a ~65Mb/s fiber line for about 45 bucks/month.

7Mb/s mobile connection you can get at a prize of about 70 bucks/month already.

 

Yep, full on Digital TV in the car but I never use it because TV here is so F*ing piss poor. I mean, we don't have any factual shows of any quality or any game show (like you'd expect). In fact there's very little to actually bother owning a TV for apart from watching movies or playing games on it.

I'm about to cancel our 3 Star Channel channels. My wife was gone for 3 weeks. I went in there to find something good on cable, and only one time was able to find anything. The other time was Temple of Doom on normal TV.

 

I didn't even bother with Temple of Doom because I saw all three Indiana Jones movies on DVD last week in run up to the new one which I saw Friday at midnight in a brand new cinema. I actually liked the movie. The very end wasn't really Indiana Jones but the rest of it was.

today my wife wached the last crusade. those pissers cutted out in mimimum about 10 minutes in one row, when jones comes to berlin and shows the book to hitl0r, which he the signs in. so they cutted the hitl0r-scene and the whole (and one of the funniest) part before the zeppelin takes off.

WHY????

 

Have you ever see The Hunt for Red October on Japanese TV? That's cut so badly that it doesn't even make sense!

Yakumo

 

fortunately not (yet) :lol:

but i remember years ago, when thy showed t"he man with the golden gun", and let the movie run while showing the CM. even better.

 

Bloody hell. That's bad. Still, over all movies on Japanese TV tend not to be too badly cut if the original length is under 100 minus minus the end credits. The worst country I've been to for watch movies on TV has got to be Australia. Movies are just un-watchable there. I remember Alien 3 was on TV but with in 2 hours the movie was only half way through because they put adverts on ever 5 fucking minutes! What's worse is that the breaks were longer than what the movie was on for! I couldn't believe how bad it was.

PS: isn't it funny how a thread about PSP TV tuners become all about movies on TV?

 

that's so sick!!!

we're paying 30 euro (=46 usd) for 6Mb/s DSL

:noooo: OH:

 

japan invests much more in creating a suitable framework for blooming technologies, namely optical lines.

 

80€ (120$) for some 6 MB cable, phone and some crappy quality DVB-C 16:9 TV... :/

 

It's worse than that in Australia. They make the volume of the movie really low so you have to have it turned all the way up, then when the ads come on, they're at some outrageous volume. It was such a problem that they made it illegal to do, but it would appear no-one takes any notice of the rule...

Anyway, good thing we only have six TV stations (plus pay TV, which hasn't really caught on). Two of those are funded by the Government and have quite good documentaries. The so-called commercial stations suck.
