Hope this is not too silly a question but if you have a seg1 capable gadget in Japan (I am thinking of getting the new Viao UX to be released shortly) exactly what TV channels can you get? Do you have to pay a license fee?

many thanks

Many thanks. Is that the BS channels? Or the analogue ones? Am I right in thinking that being down in Kyushu I will have to wait until the end of the year before digital capabilty commences?

Kawasaki,

The 1seg channels are the same channels as you currently get on your analogue TV. The only difference is that they are transmitted digitally. As a result, you won't be able to view them until terrestrial digital hits Kyushu at the end of this year. Check this map to make sure you're in the coverage area before you go buying anything:

Anything orange -> yellows will be active at the end of the year.
