[Scan-DC] Digital tv/radio

[Cathy Drzyzgula]

The original question (mine) was is there a portable audio-only product  
that will receive TV post-digital conversion.  A friend of mine (and other  
people) listen to TV audio in places like buses and metro, where a product  
with a display would be too intrusive, and too big.  A key requirement is  
to run off batteries for portable use.  $100 would probably be a  
reasonable price, the equivalent of a digital scanner would not.
