OK, it's not quite a jumbo-tron, but 10.2-inches is seriously infringing on laptop screen territory -- and that's really not a bad thing.
Philips' new PVD1075
DVB-T TV sports all the screen you really need (until the bigger ones come out next year), along with an external antenna and analog tuner. There's a seven-day Electronic Program Guide for picking your shows wisely, and you can play files off of SD cards if it strikes your fancy, though Philips isn't forthcoming on codec support. Unfortunately, the 2.5 hours of battery life is hardly enough for that marathon session you were planning of badly dubbed American TV -- we know how you Europeans do. No word on price or availability, so we're going to guess "soon" and "free."

Baaah not all of Europe dub the shows, the good part of Europe use subtitles.
Why would we dub something that you're speaking our language in?
you do speak English don't you?
the language from England, you know, England in Europe
Yes, England is in Europe, excellent. So are France, Germany, Italy,, Lithuania, Spain, Ireland, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, should I continue or ?? England NOT = to Europe. England < Europe.
Go Steven!!! Do you hate england as much as I do???
Wow, powerful stupid post - you must be an Englishman with this hilariously moronic narrow-minded understanding of the world. :)
Have you ever managed to get past the Channel, dear Maff?
Not all of the countries in Europe use dubbing. At least here in Finland pretty much EVERYTHING foreign is simply subtitiled (excluding programmes meant for very small children, they are dubbed). They tried to dub "The Bold and the Beautiful" quite a few years ago, but it resulted in a public outrage and they quickly switched back to subtitles. Finns hate dubbing.
So dont't generalize things. There are some pretty big differences among European countries, were not all the same.
Why not just get a laptop with a 12 inch screen that is cheaper, has better battery life, and well, is a computer too.
There isnt a tv show in the Netherlands be that French, Spanish, Italian or English that is dubbed. so shush! Well except as MacAnkka pointed out some shows/films for kids.
