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.
the DTV converter boxes ARE tuners.
they even come with a remote control,and you run your TV on Ch.3 or 4,like
with a cable or satellite decoder box.
they output either RF or composite video/stereo audio,so you could use it
with a monitor,but you would still need an audio amp and speakers.
