 Impressed! Only limited by digital signal strength. January 9, 2009
I bought this unit to replace an old black and white emergency TV. I plan to use this while I exercise and for travel. I have only used it a day, but am so far very impressed. Plugged it in to charge the battery and turned it on and it started scanning for channels. It gets all the channels that my big TV with a converter box gets. I have not yet even had to use the external antenna, the built in antenna is working great for me. The reception is great, all over my house, but I do live close to a major metropolitan area. (The analog signals it picks up are a bit fuzzy, but the digital are great.) If you are having trouble with the reception, don't blame this TV, blame your location and weak digital signals from the TV stations.
I love the portability of the unit. While watching a game, I can take it into any room of my house and I look forward to taking it outside to watch TV on my patio. The unit itself seems well-built and sturdy. I like the fold-out stand in the back and it has a tripod mount on the bottom. I have not yet tested the battery life, but the 100 minutes as advertised in the manual seems quite reasonable. Note, the car charger does not charge the battery.
As much as I like the TV, I can't give it five stars for these minor issues. I wish the options on the remote, such as the guide, where available from the unit's menu controls. The antenna is not adjustable toward the front, only side to side or back. And as others have noted, I wish the remote had volume adjustment, but it does have a mute. The unit does have brightness adjustment, but not color. A carrying case, or some type of screen protector, would be a nice addition. Would also like to see a foldable handle or something to make it easier to carry. I also have to knock the instruction manual for all its typos. Finally, I think it seems a bit expensive, just for a little TV.
If you are in the market for a portable digital TV, this one should work for you until other options become available. And again, don't blame this TV for the limitations of digital TV if you are having reception trouble. Any station that is fuzzy in analog will be all or nothing with digital. (Note, this seems to be essentially the same model that is available at Best Buy and Radio Shack.)

Like several others wrote, with the digital change coming I wanted to replace the 5" portable, analog TV in my kitchen. It never got good reception but was ok for listening to the news while I was cooking. I have limited counterspace so size was an issue--this TV is perfect, it's only 1" wide so it takes up zero counterspace. Also, I now get far more channels than before & a crystal clear picture. I'm glad we're switching to digital broadcasting since I'm able to get better reception and more channels with just an antenna.

I use this compact, attractive portable digital TV in my kitchen, and it is just the ticket to listen to news while preparing dinner! Reception is excellent when connected to a power source. When operating on battery power, I find that I have to move the TV to other spots to maximize the reception. I do not use the remote, as the TV is within arm's reach, but if it were not, the remote is a handy option, although it doesn't have any volume control. I am unable to get too many stations, but don't mind, as my use of this TV is limited, anyway. I like the built-in stand, and that I can take it with me while traveling. The battery life is about 10 hours.
