With nearly 70 U.S. TV broadcasters now transmitting in the new ATSC Mobile Digital TV format, RCA is also introducing handheld 3.5" and 7" portable TV models that offer the ability to receive both standard ATSC and Mobile DTV signals. And a tiny RCA tuner/receiver will soon be available for a video-equipped van or other vehicle to allow reception of the new "on the go" transmissions.
