    I dont believe anyone offers a 17" screen anymore. It may require a special order. Yet one might be able to get a 17" computer monitor for a computer and get a box that will search channels to act as a tuner. A cascadia owner might be able to get something direct from Freightliner. (the trucks when new were originally supplied with a 17" flat screen tv).

    Todays industry is all about bigger. The small screens of before have disappeared. A 32" screen is pretty much the norm for an average tv screen. Tho finding space to hang that large a screen in a company truck is the new headache.

    I have a smart tv with built in tuner. I can hook my iPad Pro up to it for Netflix, hbo, prime, etc

    I don’t use the smart tv part really, it was just what I grabbed. 43”

    I use a regular little flatscreen with a lightning to HDMI dongle. Plug my phone into that and use Hulu w/live tv, Netflix etc

    This just occured to me like the poster was asking the audience to help a tranvestite get hitched to a newby.
    And now back to the original line of thoughts.
