www.simplygames.com are offering a TV tuner for the Gameboy Advance, it apparently can also be used to convert the GBA to a Monitor only and you can connect another games console or Dvd player!! At £10.99 with free postage it seems a bargain to me. My order`s in! Seems they also don`t take your money `till it`s despatched and it`s in stock with delivery usually within 1 or 2 days. Fill yer boots!!

Good spot - mine`s hopefully on its way. A couple of warnings though -

[list] [*] I think this only works on the original GBA, not the GBA SP
[*] From a review I read, reception isn`t great (but not an issue if you connect to a DVD...)
[*] Remember, the original GBA isn`t backlit, so not much use for night-time! [/list]

Sandy, mine arrived today (next day delivery!), and appears to work fine. To be honest I didn`t think about the lack of a backlight, but you`re right, it does make for some rather dark viewing! However, it`s watchable and for those moments when you want to watch something and don`t want to lug around a portable it does the job, which for £10.99 is brilliant (wouldn`t have paid £40-£50 for it though). Of course the GBA is my son`s (he`s 17), and the cheeky git offered to sell it to me as he doen`t use it much anymore. Of course if he does sell it on then the TV tuner is not going to be a lot of use! Still, should at least get most of my money back on it if need be. Now if only someone brought out a cheap backlight kit for it! Roger.
