I believe you'd need that internal tuner for Netflix.

For examples of low current consumption manufacturers checkout Daniels radios used in FM repeaters. Super low receive current, and low line of sight transmit current. Receive consumption is still a little high in the IC705, but then again the display is the culprit with its digital display. If you get a away from displays and focus on mechanical dial displays, the receive and tx current can be significantly reduced. 73s K7EAD

The display takes very little current it os the LED backlight that sucks the juice
