1-seg, non-1-seg.. - avelicu - 2012-10-30
Hey all,
I want to buy a TV tuner here in Japan.
I noticed that many non-smartphone mobile phones here can show TV (through the so-called 1-seg thing), and most importantly, the TV that they show can have subtitles. Quite exact subtitles sometimes.
I would like to get that, so I was thinking of getting a 1-seg tuner for my laptop, but I think the 1-seg quality is worse than that of a normal tuner. So, I was wondering if a normal TV tuner in Japan would give me the ability to see subtitles as well.
Please let me know if you know. If anyone used a non-1-seg tuner in Japan and successfully got subtitles to display, the name of the tuner would be awesome to know.
Thank you ^^
Adi

In Japan there is only 1-seg and Full-seg. These are digital signals and I believe they turned off the analog signals. So there isn't any "non-seg" or whatever. If 1seg can see captioning then fullseg can.
