My friend found a Watchman at a garage sale yesterday. It's kinda like this thing here. It's about the sixe of an old walkie talkie, and used to be able to pick up tv channels by antenna. We tried it but no video channels came through, we were able to get some radio stations though.

That's not too bad. I was more expecting some blue dongs.

I wanted one of those so bad as a kid. Unfortunately if you're in the US, all TV was required to switch to digital only in the 2000s, so it won't be able to pick up any modern stations. You could always buy a cheap analog video transmitter to go with it though!
