I am old enough to remember portable tvs.
And actual pocket TVs. Interesting to see OP think they were never a thing. Don't get me wrong, they were shit, but they did exist!
I used one as recent as the mid 2000's. There was some sporting event going on (probably women's world cup) and I wanted to watch the game while playing in Ultimate league. Streaming wasn't as prevalent as it is now and the game was on OTA channel.
