Pelican TV Tuner

This accessory made by Pelican was a device that plugged into your Game Boy Advance and allowed it to become a portable TV.

This device originally sold for $79.99 USD and came with the unit itself, stand, adaptor and matching unit for hookup to other players. To start, a GBA cartridge would have to be inserted into the unit for the GBA to be able to boot it.

Channels could be changed by the D-pad.

Other Information
The sound did not come from the GBA speaker, but from a proprietary speaker on the tuner itself.

The unit was either pwered by 4 AA Batteries or an adaptor.

This item will not work in the Advance SP due to the side terminals being widened to accomodate the notch in the back of the regular Game Boy Advance. It CAN work on the SP if the sides are ground down with a Dremel tool or other device. That's why many pictures of the tuner in an SP are around the Internet.

This accessory has been rendered obsolete and useless as of July 12, 2009 due to the analog switchoff in the United States. This item was analog only.
