This darn transition is basically producing a ton of garbage from all of the soon to be outdated handhelds. Doesn't that bother anyone???????????????????? |
It's an unfortunate circumstance of the
Digital Transition. Most handheld TVs lack a capable A/V input to connect a converter box.
Even if you could "convert" your handheld, you probably wouldn't want to lug around a 3-5 pound converter box connected to your handheld (in which case both would need a constant supply of batteries).
What are you specifically looking to do with a handheld? As TonyT has pointed out, there are going to be a slew of mobile
DTV devices coming out in the next year or so that are more capable than the units I posted above.
