VRBubby TV Tuner

The VRbuddy TV Tuner is an accessory created by Theorysonic for the VR Buddy which allows users to watch both analouge and digital television on the system's built-in screen. It was introduced in 1995, and it was discontinued in 1996. It plugs into the VR Buddy's cartridge slot, and has a mono and stereo A/V input. This means that if required, a VCR, camcorder or another video game console can be connected and played off the system - it essentially turns the VRbuddy into standard 1990s-spec television.

The VRbuddy TV Tuners also differ depending on the television standard. For example, the US model uses NTSC, whereas the European model uses PAL. On top of this there are several different types of PAL - the United Kingdom for example uses PAL-I and so had a different TV Tuner to Germany. France and other countries using the SECAM standard are not thought to have officially received the TV Tuner.

The accessory has been panned by critics, just because the TV Tuner is too bright to watch. The New York Times criticized the TV Tuner for accusing to watch Seinfeld, Friends, Home Improvement and ER on virtual reality.
