Usually there are one or two stations in every major metro area that have nothing but local weather on a digital "sideband" channel. Would not have worked prior to digital broadcast TV - never would have thought of this myself, it's a great idea, if the TV is small and light enough to use in a plane. You could even power it off an inverter if your alternator has enough juice for it.

Mark, Do you have a channel that shows real time
weather continuously?

This isn't exactly rotary, but sounds like a great idea. I
thought I would pass it along to the rotary group.

I just happened to pick
up a 7inch "digital" portable T-V and took it for a ride in the sky. Made a
small mount up at the sun visor center bolt that will till the t-v up and out
of the way and also can be removed easy. I live at least 60 miles from the
nearest city and could pick up the local wx digital stations after a few
hundred feet above ground. At 1000 ft. I was getting up to 40 chanels. A trip
that took me from N-W Ohio to southern KY. I had countious Wx the whole trip
and back. Each city I got close to I rescaned for new channels and had gread
reception with the T-V antenna pulled out only 6inches. This T-V has a
rechargeabe battery that has a 2 hour time and with the sound to 0 I still had
battery power after 3hours of flying. Also has remote for us guys. The price
for the yearly subcription $00.00 And to think I was looking at XM weather...
NOT
Flying can be great if we just help each other find ways to save
$$
