Hello All!!!!!!!!!!

Well, they went out today and bought the smallest "VCR" they could find. So,
we'll see how they make out with that.
Thanks for all your contributions. I did forward them prior to the purchase.
Not sure where they're going from here, but we'll soon find out. I'm
guessing a TV too!

Mobile tuners are available from several sources. Try MCM or
PartsExpress.
OTOH, *if* you can find an old used 12v VCR (most were merely players),
and
*if* the mobile DVD setup has line video inputs; it's a piece of cake to
simply hook the parts together. (If you can find the VCR, keep it in one
piece and gain the added functionality of being able to play tapes.)

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.
