Watch TV on the brick

A football match on my brick

Another new player has entered the market for 3rd party MINDSTORMS sensors: aprilsensors, a renowned manufacturer of TV adapters, has developed a TV sensor for the brick!

"enables LEGO® fans to watch TV also on there most favorite embedded device now. Just plug in the TV sensor in any sensor port, connect it to your TV cable or satellite outlet, and the LCD of the NXT will turn into a full-blown TV screen."

Doesn't that sound great?

The only downside is that football games are somewhat hard to follow when the whole pitch is shown ...
