is there a handheld LCD TV capable of receiving the digital OTA tv signals?
since the analog OTA TV signals will be turned off in a few months, my 5" Sharp LCD TV will becom a good paperweight. (at least in the US) I bring it with me when I travel...

I'm sure there will be more. I'm hoping Casio comes out with one.
Interesting... I wonder how bad battery life on these is going to be. Battery life on my 3" Casio is more-than acceptable and runs on standard rechargeable AA batteries.
I too hope Casio comes up with something.

If you travel with a laptop, there are plenty of USB digital tuners. Some even with DVR abilities. I travel with one of these.

Yeah, but what most of us have in mind is a portable TV powered by household batteries, something that could take you through a prolonged power failure as one would get in a major hurricane.

This one offers an optional battery box that holds 10 AA batteries. So it will run during a hurricane just so long as you have 10 fresh batteries every couple hours.
