batt op? easy, most computer stores have ATSC usb sticks

So these things work! I figured the antenna would be too small or
something.

I haven't played with one yet, but all that I've seen had an "F"
connector for an antenna input, so you still need to add an antenna.
It's not like WiFi where the microwave frequencies make the antenna
small enough to hide in the dongle, it's still the regular OTA VHF/UHF
so the antenna is a moderate size.
