Hello,
I will be moving to Japan in the coming months and among the many items I will be taking with me, I am also planning to take my AMERICAN TV as it’s a 2022 Bravia XR model.
I am aware that you need a TV Tuner or something of that nature to watch Japanese Broadcast on my TV, but what are the recommendations and what are all the equipment I need, including cables, to make this work? I don’t need 4K etc, long as it’s FHD for broadcast TVs so dont’ need anything to fancy but nothing to cheap either.
​
\*Note, Bravia XR is compliant with the Japan 100v long as I can just get the plug to fit on Japanese outlets.

If you want a tuner, you can get it in Japan. They just give you a box that plugs into the wall via coaxial cable and the other end plugs into your TV via HDMI or something. Nothing needed from the US.
I can’t edit the body for some reason so needing to add:
can please provide links to the recommended / needed products? preferably amazon japan as I have few establish points there and I can use my USA card ahead of times to order
Sorry this is not an answer to your question, but wouldn’t it be better to sell your TV and buy a new one in Japan than to pay the cost of crossing the Pacific Ocean and the cost of a tuner and get an inconvenient TV?
Just out of curiosity, how much will it cost you to ship your TV to Japan? I’m moving there in two days and considering bringing mine.
Argg, I am getting very confused as I am also asking this on other sites and people are saying different things. Like I need Torune with a PS4 or PS5 and Buffalo one won’t work, I simply can’t, or I need to pay for ISP (which I don’t get) services, etc.
Without anything else in the picture: In order to watch Japanese On-Air with an American TV, what are all the items I need, including extra cabling (if needed). I understand about NHK etc can provide me as someone mentioned, but if I was to purchase something, what would it be (link will behelpful).
Sorry, I just don’t know anything about tuners and etc as I never used before and since it’s literally 0 knowledge on my end I just want to know the pinpoint answer. Again, I just need to know what to buy in order to get an USA TV to display Japan OTA shows
Honestly I would just sell the US tv or put it in storage. Good luck though
Do you have an apartment in Japan big enough for an 85 inch TV? That amount of wall space might be questionable
Not the answer to your question…
but NHK man is smiling at you 🙂
