Larry,,,, I guess I will leave the tv at home. Who needs it anyway. A
good book, some music [cd's], and a warm ocean breeze.

How do the portable little tv's work on a boat. The ones that have
the very small screen.


Two words....Just awful. So cheap they forgot to put transistors in the
RECEIVER! The picture's decent if you're close enough to the station you
can feel the RF heating your skin from the antennas...(c;

Oh, another thing to look at....

If the screen looks WHITE when the TV is off....YOU CAN'T SEE IT IF THERE
IS ANY ambient light at all! Those are the worst!

Doesn't matter these days. Analog TV in the States will go dark in a
couple of years and only DTV will be broadcast so the stations can hit you
with user fees to watch something besides the spam....

Wanna see football? Call 1-800-FEED US MONEY and we'll turn the football
game on on your ADDRESSABLE HDTV set by remote control right in the
broadcast data stream.

(You haven't heard them say anything about that, have you?)

Pay TV comes to over-the-air broadcasting....DTV, HDTV, Digital
Radio...soon.
