Transcript

This is my new tiny TV. So I actually saw this project like two years ago. They were trying to raise money to bring the smallest TV ever made to life, and I think they raised quite a bit. I find it cool that we live in this era where almost anything can become a business, even tiny TVs. Tier. So this is the TV. There was a clear version too, but I like this more retro look. Is that a remote? It looks like it's three d printed. I guess better try it. Alright. Click the button. Oh, there we go. That's pretty amazing. You can change the channels with this thing. Volume. Let's see how far away I can go. It's still working back here. You can also adjust the channel and volume using these dials on the TV too. Now when I bought this, one thing that made me really excited is that you can upload your own videos to it. And yeah, on the back here it says it can store over ten hours of video. I wanna try this no let's film a quick video. Stevie sells on the tiny TV. Yippee. Alright. Now we convert this video by using the tiny TV converter app. I'll plug in the TV to my computer tier. USB storage mode. Copy it over and eject. Now let's see if it's on here. No. There I am. Allow for more peace.
