That's Odd. I have used a portable set on road trips a few times before NTSC went away, and while a snow free picture was difficult to achieve it was quite watchable....I got much better results with a portable set while riding a bicycle. The major difference is that using a portable set in a car with no outside antenna is going to kill the station signal strength because the metal auto body acts as a Faraday cage and eats most incoming signal that would otherwise reach the antenna of a portable inside it.
