I think a Raspberry Pi with Openelec/Kodi is the closest thing to that (that comes to my mind anyway)

Maybe instead of a VCR a guy could stick a RPi in a portable CRT TV?

I have been using one of these since 2012.... there are likely cheaper and better units available today. Thought briefly about building it into a portable tv such as a Sony KV 5200, but that never went anywhere.

I have a Diamond MP700 that is exactly what you describe, and I use it as a test generator and source of pictures and audio tones for amateur television (ATV, which is TV over ham radio). They seem to be discontinued, but Fry's Electronics stores had other similar devices all under $50 when I bought this one.

Also, Fry's has or had a Naxa-brand digital-TV tuner with composite-video and RF outputs that also has an SD card slot for media.

Thanks Chris.I'll look into them.Bestbuys are probably afraid of them and offending whats left in Hollywierd since they dont have them.
