I have an in-house transmitter (Blonder-Tongue agile modulator). It works well enough that I can take a handheld TV outside to the yard swing and watch TV there. That's the only practical use I can find for my handhelds. I have about half a dozen and can't justify getting more just because they're cute.
I think that Panasonic might be the first in their micro TV line. I have a couple of the later models and they work well.
I often have a TV playing near the workbench when I'm working on this or that, receiving something from the in-house transmitter. Used a JVC VideoSphere that way for years. My current choice is one of those awful little jellybean TVs that a guy gave me. I can hear the sound just fine, which is all I care about most of the time. And I don't care if I knock it off the bench or splash solder on the screen!
