Sorry, my error. It is late and I was not thinking correctly. I should have
included that one last part. I've seen the posts you refer to. Probably why
they thought it was possible. Not being to familiar with the "computer" TV
tuners, "I" had even suggested trying that, but they said no way to control
channel change. I think the 5" tv would be a lot easier and cheaper - as one
other mentioned. UNLESS of course one of the VCRs he has available has the
required outputs OR such a tuner can be bought reasonably - to equal the
cost of a 5" tv or such.

Thanks

FWIW, I suggested something on those lines. They already have the LCD
screen
hooked up to a DVD player or whatever and a camera. They thought they
could
just do the "TV" thing by adding a tuner. I suppose I should have
mentioned
that before. And, this is all "mobile". I guess size was an issue also,
along with the previous sentence of using what is already available.

You didn't mention that before, a lot of people ask if they can use a
laptop
LCD panel for something and the answer is generally no. If the LCD already
works on a DVD player then yes you can hook it up to a tuner, some tuners
even output composite video directly.
