2" tv
Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum. Maybe you can refer me
to the right one. I have a 2" Sony Watchman that was practically never used. It will be obsolete in February. Connecting it to a digital converter doesn't seem like a good idea, because the converter would be 4 times as big and need to plug into the wall! Do they still use these in Canada or somewhere? It would be nice to get some money for it, but most of all, I don't want to see a perfectly good tv go to waste? (I tried to use it on a 12 day trip last spring, but ended up staying in motels with tvs, instead of sleeping in the woods.) |

AS usual, Canada is following the US and going digital broadcast too. No
market here for that unit. Sorry.... - Tim - In article , NOPSAMmm2005 @bigfoot.com says... Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum. Maybe you can refer me to the right one.

Well, hard as I tried, every link on Google for "Fredericton" took me to
Fredericton, New Brunswick. Ya, that's in Canada.... Does anyone know of a Fredericton any where else? I would like to know if there's another one out there somewhere.... - Tim - In article 9c1f9d74-ba1a-4329-abc9- , says...

Besides, it won't work 'out of the box' unless the TV is hacked to add an antenna port. My Watchman uses the lanyard for an antenna. I'm savvy enough to hack in an input, but the vast majority isn't. jak |
