Game Gear TV tuner

Maybe you could hook an Atari up to the antenna port?

This is what I was alluding to earlier. Some sort of wired method to pull an analog signal from the TV cable or from a digital to analog TV tuner. Only the lower VHF bands would work, but a Digital tuner might work. You lose the portability but interesting to read if this works. A crazy mod to set a video input could make it happen.

Maybe get a RF Video Balun, hook it from your TV cable and touch one or both leads to the Game Gear antennae and see what happens? I doubt it would work but would be interesting to read that it picks up something.

There's still some videos of this thing in action, before the switch to digital, if anyone is interested.

When I was a kid, I always thought the TV tuner was the coolest accessory possible.
I never owned one though, and lived too far away from broadcasting sources to pick up much with the small antenna...

Me too, but by the time we got a Game Gear it was the model that was incompatible with the tuner.

I fired mine up just to see if I could pick up anything. There are actually several channels still out there. Unfortunately, they are all Shopping channels.

I'm in STL too, and I was about to say the same thing. The UHF realm still has some channels.

Fired it up again for kicks. Turns out I have way too much gamegear stuff.
This is a jibbity jesus channel, but it comes in quite well.

There are two external ports for input. One is an AV in... so you probably could figure out some weird way to play your atari on here.

Sweet. That blue game gear is purty.

Who knew that sega would bring you closer to the Lord?
