Guess they don't have hurricanes in Orlando. That is when you need a
battery operated TV


I would like a battery operated DTV converter so that I can use my 2"
tv.


How are you going to get the output signal of the DTV converter into the 2"
LCD TV? Does the LCD TV have an ext. antenna input?

Given that my DTV converter is bigger than my 2" LCD tv (forget the
brand- not that it matters in that size range)- is anyone yet marketing
similar sizes of digital TVs?


I doubt it;the converter circuits are about the size of a large paperback
book.You could get a 12v LCD monitor and feed the video from the DTV
converter into it,and have a small audio amp for sound.

Jim:

Thanks for all the good info. I lived in Ft Pierce during high school
and got my bachelors at UF Gainesville before moving back north.
Weather looks like you might be having power outages right now - on
Friday.

I went to the official US gov site " www.dtv2009.gov" where they list
all places within X miles that have convertors. Will have to keep
trying, or go to my local WM.

Thanks again.
