Plug in a suitable DTV box or stick like Amazon Fire / Google Chromecast
etc and you can use them anywhere.


Fire and Chromecast require an HDMI port, anything 'analogue' would surely come
with scart or a composite input at best.


Depends on the vintage of the set. There were plenty of "HD ready" sets
with analogue tuners.

However reading the OP's second post, it seems he means they were pocket
TVs and not just "portable". So chances of them having HDMI seem remote.
