Anyone know anything about this device or if it is worth anything to a Sega collector? I passed on it today at Goodwill for $10. It is from 'AlphaStar', and best I can tell has very little to do with Sega in any functional way.

It looks like a generic AV box that wouldn't do anything without being subscribed to some kind of delivery service. I suspect the Sega name is just incidental here, probably unrelated to our favorite game company.

This is what I've found on Sega Club: http://segaretro.org/Sega_Club
So it seems like it was part of that Sega initiative somehow, but you are right that it was a content delivery system that didn't last long and the hardware is useless now.
hah, there is an old DP topic with the same title as mine: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?68175-Sega-Club-Digital-TV-reciever

For $10 I'd have bought it just for the Sega branding on it, but I am a Sega nut.

I agree 100%, go back there and buy it! It may be worth little more than that, but it's got a box in nice shape. There will be SEGA nuts out there interested. If not, it only cost you $10.

Get it. It's totally worth the $10.

Alright, you've all convinced me to head back and see if it is still there tomorrow.

Went back over the weekend, but it wasn't there. Not terribly surprised. Hopefully a collector that wants it got it.

Oh well, even if it's worse money (I doubt it), not really a big piece of game history.
