portable dtv

Since analog TV's won't work anymore after Friday, including portable ones, do they make portable ones that will work? How much do they cost?

Yes, portable ATSC (digital) sets are available. I can't vouch for the quality, but here are some examples.

We look at the Inginia 7quot; LCD DTV, which is now sold only at Radio Shack, under a different brand name. Like most portables, the reception is ...

Of coarse it would need the correct inputs, but the question is more pointed to whether or not it has to have a built in tv tuner.

no they do not have built in tuners. you will need a separate tuner to plug into the dvd player to view on its screen.

I have a new DTV converter, new $16 indoor portable TV antenna and older 2000 analog 13" TV. Need help attaching cables to all 3...I am 60+ and dont know the terms of what porthole or cable to stick where. Converter and new antenna both have room for 2 cable hookups. TV only has the antenna- in porthole & no audiovisuals.. The old pole antenna on the TV wasnt good enough, so I bought the new $16 antenna for it. Reception isnt good in my area with DTV converter alone.

Carefully look at the back of the antenna and converter box. Everything should be labeled, but you may need a magnifying glass to see the printing.

One of the connectors on the antenna should be labeled "To TV" or something like that.

Temporarily connect the "To Tv" outlet to your TV and see what kind of analog reception you get.

If you don't get any reception, look at the back of the antenna for a switch. Try flipping it to the other position.

(The switch & extra connector on the antenna is so you could connect a video game if you wanted to.)

Play around with adjusting the antenna for best (analog) reception. It's a lot easier to adjust the antenna with the analog signal.

When your done, disconnect the antenna from your TV and connect the antenna to the "Antenna in" (or something like that) on the converter box

The other connector on the converter should be labeled "To TV" (or something like that). Use the cable that came with the converter to connect it to your TV.

Set your TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever shows the converter's menu), then you will be ready to go through the converter's menu.

If you have further questions, be sure to include the model of the converter you have.

Other people have asked that same question and the answer is no for now. A way around this is to just buy a cheap DTV converter box with red/white/yellow outputs and connect computer speakers to it. Not really portable but it would work if you have an outlet nearby.

When these radios do come out, this company will have them:
