I have an old Spectra 5" Black and White portable TV which does not work because it is analog. I understand that it can be fixed with a DTV converter box, but I have no clue how to hook it up since it does not have a normal cable "port", but rather, a port the size of a headphone jack with this little thing that has two screws on it. It worked very well prior to the switch-over and I want it to return to it's former glory. What I would really like is to send it somewhere to somebody who can fix up the wiring to convert it to digital, but that's unlikely and if somebody could do it, it would likely be expensive. So here's what I need answered:
What do I need?
Is there a way to make this completely portable again (ie, a battery powered converter box?)
How much will it cost for all this?
Can I really send it off to somebody? If so, who?



Top: Back of the TV
Middle: External Antenna Connector
Bottom: Front (Sorry its so small, perhaps look up Spectra Portable TV 5"?
