Is there a way to connect a portable TV to cable?
I have a approximately 10 year old portable color TV (Casio Model TV-770B crystal vision). It has about a 2 inch screen. It has a built in antenna It has connections for earphones and an external antenna but the connection for the antenna is the same size as the one for the earphones. It does not have one of those connections found on larger TV to connect a cable via one of the coaxial cables. Is there some sort of adaptor that would allow be to connect cable TV service via a coaxial cable to the portable TV external antenna connection? If so what it is called and where can I find it and roughly how much does it cost?
Answer:
There really is no adaptor for your TV, but......
You can find an unused "earphone-style" of cable and adapt it to an unused RF cable (unused because you will have to cut the ends off and splice them together).
I had a portable TV and just purchased an earphone Jack to connect to an RG-59 cable.....
Then I actually FOUND a special adaptor that had an
F-connection on one end and a 7mm earphone adaptor on the other....but that was back in 1990....and in a Radio Shack store.
I suspect you may find one if they still make it.
Try Radio Shack first, or go online for an "F to 7mm" adaptor.
If you have the instruction booklet, it may actually have the specs you need for the earphone plug.....

Why Wi-Fi Antennas?
Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) allows one to connect to the Internet or a private network without a cable. The purpose of a Wi-Fi antenna is to allow for more signal strength. Sometimes, whether at your home office or at a local eatery, signal strength can be weak or poor in particular spots. You may find that relocating your laptop from one room or space to another location helps increase signal strength. If this happens, then a Wi-Fi antenna is necessary for resolving this issue. No one wants to continuously walk around searching for the spot with the best signal strength.
With a Wi-Fi antenna you can connect more easily and readily to wireless networks, whether at home, work or a local diner with wireless Internet. In addition, websites will take less time to load and you can transfer your files in less time. Wi-Fi also allows you to connect to your favorite hotspot and to create a network to play online or network-based games with others. And Wi-Fi helps people stay connected at a cheaper price.
Today, laptops are more commonly used because of advancements in technology and because of the convenience of taking your laptop wherever you go. If you want to connect your Wi-Fi antenna to your laptop, you just need to plug the wireless card into your laptop, attach the laptop adapter cable to the wireless card, and then attach your Wi-Fi antenna to the cable. You can also use a USB adaptor for a wireless antenna.
The Internet is used for countless reasons. Today, many people need to stay connected to the Internet whether for work-related purposes, school and studying, or for purposes such as shopping or communicating with others for enjoyment. Although Wi-Fi antennas help people stay connected, long-range antennas and adapters help you receive better Wi-Fi connection. As mentioned above, local hotspots and travel spots provide Wi-Fi Internet; however, wireless Internet doesn't always effectively reach every spot throughout a location. A long range Wi-Fi antenna will help solve this problem.
And what's more interesting than a Wi-Fi antenna for your laptop? A mobile WiFi antenna for your car, truck, RV or other vehicle, which comes in handy since many truck stops and parks offer wireless access.
With Wi-Fi, you're connected wherever you go.
