Digital Portable TV

Digital Portable TV may be the toughest challenge in the whole digital switchover. 

The whole point of portable TV is you take it with you and watch it where you want.  With analogue TV this is pretty straighforwards.  The set top aerials are able to pick up the analogue signal pretty well everywhere.  If you can't get too stong a signal you can still get a picture even though it might have some flicker or interference. 

Who hasn't sat in a (beer) tent somewhere trying to watch the wimbledon final through a snow storm on someones portable TV?

With digital the situation is different.  There is no gradual deterioration of signal.  You either have it or you don't.  There is no half way house.  What this means for digital portable TV remains to be seen.
