2" tv

[mm]

Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum. Maybe you can refer me
to the right one.

I have a 2" Sony Watchman that was practically never used. It will be
obsolete in February. Connecting it to a digital converter doesn't
seem like a good idea, because the converter would be 4 times as big
and need to plug into the wall!

Do they still use these in Canada or somewhere? It would be nice to
get some money for it, but most of all, I don't want to see a
perfectly good tv go to waste?

(I tried to use it on a 12 day trip last spring, but ended up staying
in motels with tvs, instead of sleeping in the woods.)

Make the FCC send you a new watchman with digital reception.

AS usual, Canada is following the US and going digital broadcast too. No
market here for that unit. Sorry....

How do you know that is not forged?

 

[Tim]

Well, hard as I tried, every link on Google for "Fredericton" took me to
Fredericton, New Brunswick. Ya, that's in Canada....

Does anyone know of a Fredericton any where else? I would like to know
if there's another one out there somewhere....

Yeah, a 6.5" box to carry along with your 2" TV...plus a battery pack.
Besides, it won't work 'out of the box' unless the TV is hacked to add
an antenna port. My Watchman uses the lanyard for an antenna. I'm
savvy enough to hack in an input, but the vast majority isn't.
