I am forwarding this from the Q-List. I thought it is pretty cool and will try it, next time I fly, with my new wife's kitchen digital TV.
I'd like to hear a few more flight reports.

I don't know much abnout it yet, but the digital stations have extra channels. For instance
6-1 HD is Channel 6's regular format
6.2 WX is Channel 6's weather format.
It has nothing to do with XM, I think.

Hi Sam,
What an incredible idea! Went to amazon and searched for 'digital portable tv'
and got about a dozen options for less $140 (most around $100-120 mark). I
wonder if any of them have either transreflective displays or displays that are
bright enought to be seen in the sun?

I just happened to pick up a 7inch digital portable T-V and took it for a ride in the sky. Made a small mount up at the sun visor center bolt that will till the t-v up and out of
the way and also can be removed easy. I live at least 60 miles from the nearest city and could pick up the local wx digital stations after a few hundred feet above ground. At 1000
ft. I was getting up to 40 chanels. A trip that took me from N-W Ohio to southern KY. I had continuous Wx the whole trip and back. Each city I got close to I rescaned for new
channels and had gread reception with the T-V antenna pulled out only 6inches. This T-V has a rechargeabe battery that has a 2 hour time and with the sound to 0 I still had battery
power after 3hours of flying. Also has a remote for us guys. The price for the yearly subcription $00.00 And to think I was looking at XM weather... NOT

If it is so sunny that you can't see the weather on the TV, do you
