Not that I know of. I have two small TVs like what you describe. I'm
reluctant to get rid of them. I guess they'll turn into pumpkins next
February.

Will still work for thousands of LPTVs.


Hardly any of these radios have UHF coverage, and the vast majority of
LPTV's are on UHF. Or, if you're talking about the portable TV's (I have
several of these as well, but I don't think my signals will be going away
any time soon), then yes, they will still be able to pick up the LPTV
stations.. but only at close range. Won't be able to take them camping or to
the beach, etc. anymore and get any use out of them other than as a lighted
paperweight or to hold down a corner of the blanket while you're on a
picnic..
