Portable TV
Want a TV for the bedroom, but we have no aerial feed.
Does the portable TV still exist?
I recall when all such tv's had a loop style aerail built in
What happens now?
Eddited to add I have not had much sucess with indoor aerials in our conservatory!

Indoor Ariels do still work, in theory. That is to say they work if you live somewhere with brilliant signal so they probably won't work for
digital if they currently don't for you with analogue.
When I lived in Garnethill I got brilliant reception from a coil of ariel cable wrapped around a chair, I bought a really long lead to read the wall
socket but it wasn't attached to anything so the wire worked better in a coil. for a while I ran a digibox through a VCR and it worked with the
wire around a chair ariel.

We get a less picture break up on the kitchen tv using an indoor ariel and digibox than we do on main tv on a proper digital ariel

Anyone who sells you a "proper digital aerial" is conning you. Your old analogue aerial will receive the digital signal. The best way to
receive without breaking up is to use shielded coaxial cable and don't put any unnecessary joints between the aerial connection and the plug
into the box. You need a line of sight from the transmitter to the aerial with as little obstruction as possible. We live on a busy junction and the
worst cause of break up is traffic, particularly two stroke mopeds.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
