i allway's tout that crt tv,s will eath battery,s in seconds,and that it is thus too impossible to run crt,s on batttery's,but ,m wrong,trough it still uses more power then lcd,s

[tutorial15]

These tvs are good ?

[arsecrabs55]

I have a casio TV-20 and a Sony Watchman b/w CRT screen. As well as connecting freeview to them by 2012 you can play DVDs on them if you connect via a VCR's modulator which converts the digital to analogue which these TVs can process. Sort of defeats the portability but nice to keep old things working!!

i have the casio tv 400 and a sinclair black and white tv. Very good but sadly wont work in 2012. Unless you connect to a freeview box.

i love those old pocket tvs, i made one once but decided on a bigger screen, 32inch to be precise, it had a great picture but was to bloody big to put in my pocket

[slayer666micisback]

i want a pocket tv

Your analogue TV has already switched off in Germany- in '07? The first one here was in 2008, but our area doesn't get switched off 'til 2012. So if you have any of these old things and want to get rid of them, send them to Britain!

[dominiccarfan2]

well bad news analog will cease to broadcast by next year so do you want a digital box in your pocket?

Hey my dad had one TV-20 and it's still working well! It can receive TV signals as far as Indonesia and Thailand nice! I gonna get a color one though in the future although many stores stopped selling them...:(

[coondogtheman1234]

im gonna get one of these amazon has one for 30 bucks, as for off the air i watch cable so ill find a cable tuner and rig it to change channels remotely (from another room)but i think they have these devices that extend the signal from a remote

the one on the bottom left is the same as my dad's

[tarmotanilsoo]

That's sad... One negative side of analog TV switchoff is rendering portable tellies useless :((

[kermit30au]

@tarmotanilsoo Hey there mate. I have a few old mini TVs and they are going off line soon too. One little trick if you want to keep using them around the house is to use a TV sender. I have one that transmitts everything my big plasma sees on the screen and these little guys can still be used around the house or outside on the patio.

Just an idear for you so you can keep using them :)
