can battery powered TV's have cable? Some can and some can't. It depends on the details! Details: 1. Some battery powered TVs were made for use only with their built in antenna and don't have any way to connect to a cable system. You should look for a model with both a jack for an external antenna/cable and NTSC QAM tuners. 2. so do they already have all the cable shows? What do you mean? TVs are only receivers and you have to supply them with signals. Spongebob is a cable/satellite only program so you can't get it with an antenna. You have to have either cable or satellite TV service to get it. 3. battery powered Since you have to connect it to cable, why so you want it to be battery powered. Battery powered means small screen and limited run time between charging. 4. How does your local cable company supply it's signals? If it uses DTA adapters or is still using analog signals, any old TV will do.
You'll have to plug it in to the cable, but yes that will work. What you have to check, is what kind of connection it has. You also MAY have to plug it into a cable box or VCR to get it to work. - 17R3W
How can you have cable without a cable connection? If they come with an antenna, you get off-the-air programs. To get cable, the TV needs to have a cable tuner and you need to have a cable feed.
