Watching TV on a PSOne LCD...?

[cj171]

So, I have a PS1 (playstation) and its got this little nifty screen to hook up. It has ur standard RCA A/V inputs... I want to take this with me on vacation and I want to see if i can watch tv on it... so, it would work if i hooked up a vcr to it and used that to change channels and such with a little antenna hooked up, but i dont wanna haul a big vcr around, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any sort of standalone tv tuner thing that existed? or any other cheap way to get to watch tv on this screen?

RCA input is only for just that. Input to output. You won't be able to control anything, only use it to display whatever is pluged in. Just like a TV with RCA in.

I think what he meant is an external tuner with rca output. Similar to how they make stereo tuners that are seperate from the amplifiers (although most are together as receivers). I haven't seen one, and I imagine they'd be hard to find. You might want to subscribe to Jameco's catalog. It's free and has all kinds of electronic stuff. The site isn't hard to find.

I gotcha.

My bad. ;D

I havent seen one, and I can guess the lack of market would be the reason. However, I am sure that a local Uni student in EET would be more than happy (for a fee of course) to design one for ya.
