[Scan-DC] Digital tv/radio

[W4NNG]

Cathy

I'm fairly confident it will be a long time, if ever, before a consumer 
hand-held DTV demod radio is available.  The reason is that most people who 
want this service will be using thier portable computer (like an I-phone via 
something like a 3G wireless connection to listnen to interent radio & TV.

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.
