Can anybody tell me of a good website for making a homemade portable TV? (just thought it would be cool) :D

How portable? :D
Some people call 17" TVs portable, but then there are the real portable ones at 5".
I dno anything about making a portable TV, but i have seen a few sites showing how to turn one into an oscilloscope.

That would be pretty cool as a TV related project.
EDIT - This is an even better guide http://markbowers.org/blog/?q=node/175 (http://markbowers.org/blog/?q=node/175)

yeah I ment 5" ones. Is it possible to make a tv reciever?

hmm the reciever would be pretty easy to make its just that you need to amplify it..hmmm..

not exactly
however, I've seen baby monitors that could pick up football games , so I would take a baby monitor and find which pot or coil ( if any ) I need to turn to change the recieving. Play around with that and thats it. Then work your way up from that!
Side note: a friend of mine once bought a 5 dollar radio , opened it up right in front of me and tuned the coil in there to pick up radio waves from the airport, all in five minutes. It was really cool we could hear the ground based transmissions of the airport!

PSP + tvturner.

I have a portable dvd player screen could I do something with that? I've seen radios that get in tv channnels could i connect that somehow with the screen?
