Don Quijote's discount "Tuner -free TV" NHK reception fee (December 22, 2021) --Excite News

From the original brand "Passion Price" of "Don Quijote", on December 10th, "Tunerless Smart TV with AndroidTV function" two models, 21,780 yen, 21,780 yen, 21,780 yen.Type 42 was released for 32,780 yen.It is characterized by being unable to watch terrestrial broadcasting as "tunerless", but it may be a surprising hit product.

"This product is equipped with Android TV instead of a tuner, and specializes in watching video distribution services such as YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. Of course, it is possible to connect game consoles and Blu -ray recorders.You can watch cable TV and BS/CS broadcasting separately if you have a separate tuner. "(Entertainment magazine writer)

　On the net, there is a product called "It's just like this."I do not want to pay NHK's receiving fee, so I will buy it. "" I can't watch terrestrial broadcasting, but I have to pay a stupid NHK reception fee just because there is a TV that can be received at all.You can watch video distribution services on a large screen and it's the best.We are gaining support from those who do not want to pay NHK's reception fee, such as those who do not want to watch and do not want to pay.

"Such a tunerless TV is likely to spread in the future, given the flow in which commercial broadcasting enters simultaneous distribution of the Internet one after another, and that the price of the main unit is low, but only NHK broadcasts are not reflected recently.In a lawsuit that confirmed that a woman who purchased a filtered TV has no obligation to sign a receiving contract with NHK, the Supreme Court says, "If you can remove the filter, you can receive it."It was dismissed and controversial. Tunerless TV is not a situation where it is not decided that NHK has no contract obligation, and NHK also provides the Net simultaneous distribution service "NHK Plus", so there will be an internet environment in the future.There is a possibility that a contract obligation may occur in case "(IT journalist)

　Anyway, it seems to be useful as a cheap monitor for those who do not watch terrestrial broadcasting.
