[Electronics-talk] ReTVs without a screen

[Baracco, Andrew W]

Be sure to tell your friend that even in Richard's own documentation, he
says that the provided whip antenna will not likely work very well
because the digital broadcast uses much less power than did the analog,
and most likely some type of external antenna, preferably outdoors, will
be needed.

small, portable digital TV's with 7 inch LCD screens that run on
batteries or AC and cost less than $100, which might be the next best
