We had a black and white TV when I was 2 years old. But today, I have a very small portable TV and it is very cool. The signal was very clear. You can watch anything on it. You can also plug in a DVD player and watch video with it.

portable color tvs

Well I have a 5" portable B/W TV in my bedroom that I actually used a LOT -- until the digital TV conversion last summer, and now it doesn't get anything. However, I do have a converter box that isn't being used (because the old analog TV I bought it for finally died), so I might just plug it into that and start using it again.

But, alas, right now, the only working TV is the 13" in the living room, which has its own digital tuner. (I don't have cable, I still use rabbit ears.)

The B & W TV I have is one of those old battery operated ones "Travel" ones from 20 years ago.

I'm guessing that this is more an issue of people entering that they have a B&W tv instead of a color one so that they can pay the smaller license fee.

To contextualize this, it's possibly because a black-and-white TV license is cheaper in the UK, and I'd assume blind people buy them.

Their license is already a concession price (as they can't SEE the TV only hear it), so it makes sense they'd also buy a B&W set to cut their costs even further. So, 30,000 blind and financially canny people doesn't seem so strange.

I'd imagine the overlap of people that watch black and white tv and the people that have internet (and manage to find discussion blogs on television at that) are pretty much so zero.

i don't own a TV. i have hulu.
