Most converter boxes run off of a "wall wart" DC power supply and a small bit of hookup wire from the battery compartment of your battery powered TV will give you your operating converter box. Set the TV to channel 3, and run a bit of wire from the converter box RF port to the antenna lead.

^ Oh my god, people are actually bidding on that shit? WHAT THE HELL, PEOPLE?

I suppose you can still use most of those for AM/FM radio, and possibly as a video monitor, but damn.

^^Yeah, that's just bad.

First google result for "handheld TV"

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2855063

At least none of the first new NTSC only sets are for sale, just old listings of discontinued items.

That number has to be artificially low. I'm certain there's way more than 800,000 people in this country who can't understand shit no matter how much you try and tell them.

Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

I misread this as "artificially high" at first and was getting ready to be like "dude, no way, there are tons of dumb fucking people out there"


then I realized that you're saying the same thing I am

If you consider that these idiots had to know what number to call before they could call the number, that figure makes a lot more sense.
