Do they have any that run on batteries?

I have a duplex outlet on my patio.
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.

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?

The ipods with screens are the only small video I see lately. Given how
crappy reception is on the tiny TVs, not surprised most stores quit
carrying them. (Mine was an impulse purchase from Sam's Club remainder
rack- marked down to 20 from 70, about 2 years ago.)

If anyone has one of the old Commodore 64 color monitors with integral
sound, you should be able to plug your DTV converter box directly into
that, for a no-fuss solution. Look in the basement and see.

Do the new converter boxes have channel tuners in them? The commodore
monitors do not. How would you change channels? I always ran mine through a
vcr with a channel tuner then I routed to the monitor.
