someone on youtube made a battery pack thing and it worked i guess, search for it. As for the box on portable tv's, yes, you can use them.

You need a Balun screwed to the portable tv's external antenna adapter, and then you'd just hook up the box like you normally would on a regular tv

and yes, you can still use closed captions, just activate it in the box's menu

Hi again Ginny,
have you had a chance to find who manufactured (Sony? Toshiba?) your 5" TV or the model number?

Here's a link to one battery operated converter box: http://www.dtvusaforum.com/winegard-...ox-market.html and here's a video of it being used: http://www.dtvusaforum.com/winegard-...wer-video.html

This lil portable I have was made by Electrotune from what I can see
on the TV that was a Co. in Canada, it's not made anymore but it's
in such great condition being over 20 yrs old (as it was only used when
the power went out.

Thank you again Jay for the info. You've been very, very helpful..

I will return if I need any further assistance, have to get the
box now; I'm waiting on the coupons.

May your life be filled with an abundance of happiness.

Does anyone know if the person on You Tube who made the battery
box for the DTV converter; knows whether it works on any make
of DTV converter?..; how does one find out what the person made?..Winegard's battery pack only works on their
model and a model called Venturer...sold at Target....
