    Does anybody have any experience with small portable tv sets, something like this:
    http://www.geekalerts.com/portable-7-inch-widescreen-lcd-tv-from-nikkai/

    Would I be able to receive RTE on one of these? There are quite a few for sale on ebay UK. They say: "with Integrated Freeview and Analogue Receiver" so it should work right?

    Anybody have any experiences good or bad?
    Thanks! :)

    .. anybody at all?! It's for a sick relative in hospital so I'd like to get it soon if anyone thinks it will work for her.
    Thanks again.

    I'll be hoping to get something like this for the car soon. I think Maplin do them as well, noit sure how good they are though.

    Some of them (particularly if made for the UK market) only have UHF tuners.

    In parts of Ireland RTE1 and 2 are on VHF

    If buying a digital one you should note that it needs to be MPEG4 compatable for Irish digital transmissions (currently testing but not available everywhere)

    Most "Freeview" TV's are MPEG2 only

    So would you think the same would apply to this one http://readeroffers.irishtimes.com/i-hh-10729-eca-1/Inovalley-digital-Freeview-7in-LCD-TV/ I was so hoping to get this on my christmas list and finally be able to see tv in the kitchen. I couldn't figure out how the ariel would help it pick up the digital signal (particularly since we are on analogue with ntl). But if anyone thinks there is a way I can make it work, i'm only too happy to hear it, cheers, f
