Sounds like I need to hook up my 2" Sinclair MTV1 or Seiko wrist TV watch, both of which have just been gathering dust. However, neither have any sort of input -- is there a USB or HDMI ultra low power VHF or UHF transmitter so I can go total Terry Gilliam in the house with multiple displays??



The TV watch is all-in-one? I thought those usually had an external tuner that plugged into the wrist "monitor" via a cable of some sort? If so, then find the pinout and type of connector it is, and try to hack it that way.

Whatever you do with that TV watch, though, don't destroy it. It might not be right now, but someday in the not-too-far future it could be worth some serious cash by a TV collector. Honestly, it might be that way now - so check into that before jumping into something like this.

The Seiko T001 does have an external tuner and routinely go for $400-500+ on eBay, depending on condition.

Yes, external battery box / tuner. I'm not sure if the tuner to display interface is actually video, or is basically a proprietary LCD driver at that point. This one is NIB, so I'd probably get another to experiment with first...
