2" tv

Jan 01, 2009 8 Replies

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....

Well, hard as I tried, every link on Google for "Fredericton" took me to=20 Fredericton, New Brunswick. Ya, that's in Canada....

Does anyone know of a Fredericton any where else? I would like to know=20 if there's another one out there somewhere....

Google's Usenet Archive / search engine are useful for these things:

alt.tv.tech.hdtv is an apt group (with high-activity).

There are battery-powered converter boxes, e.g.

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.
