Amazon.co.uk Review
This TV tuner accessory for the Game Boy Advance came as a great surprise: it's a great idea that actually works. It's very simple to use, clipping securely on to the rear of the GBA using the cartridge port (the tuner has a cartridge slot, in which a game must be inserted for it to work); extend the aerial and switch on your console. Once you're fired up there's a wealth of options available to you via a combination of the GBA's buttons: auto-tune, contrast, brightness, PAL type etc. Auto-tuning takes around two minutes, and the picture quality is very impressive, only restricted by the limitations of the GBA screen. The sound quality is also clear. Quality can be affected, however, if you try to use it where reception is poor--among big buildings, in moving vehicles etc. The tuner can also be connected to DVD players and other consoles, which is useful if the other TV in your house is being watched. Battery life (4x AA batteries) is around 110 minutes; the unit comes with an AC adaptor and Blaze has also indicated that they intend to release a car adaptor. All in all, this is a gimmick that turns out to be quite functional and surprisingly effective. --Laurent S Hall

A GOOD LITTLE GADGET
I was really excited when i first got it. It was quite hard to first set up but after that you'll get used to it. It takes a while to get a good picture but when you've got it, it's good. It's useful to take around with you when you're out the ariel is quite big and the screen could be a bit bigger. But apart from that it's a great buy and i recomend everyone to buy it.

TV Tuner - Game Boy Advacne Accesory
When I first saw this I immediatley wanted it and was right to get it. It is a brillaint piece of equipment offering a tuner and allows you to play your big consoles on it in case the regular TV breaks. It has good reception with the ariel and is a brilliant concept. The one downfall is you have to have a GBA gamew on hand to use it or the console wont recognize it. But its a good piece oof equipment nontheless - well worth the buy.

Watch TV on Your Gameboy Advance
I bought this item due it's price being slashed, you can't buy a handheld TV for that. This product is perfect for taking with you if you go on holiday, you can play games and watch TV, the Quality is quite good if you get the aerial in the right position and the sound is much better than expected, it also has the ability to be connected to another console which i also found very useful. A definate buy.
