Great little TV September 9, 2010 Kevin A. Burke (Houston, TX) I bought this TV for use in a grid-down, hurricane situation. We have lots of AA Eneloops with solar charging capability, so I wanted something that would take AA batteries. This one fit the bill. I can pretty much guarantee at least 4 hours a day running this TV on batteries alone in a grid down situation, if not more, with our capacity. This TV eats up the battery juice quickly, but it can be worth it if you plan ahead.
As for reception it is surprisingly good for a handheld set. We do not get all of the channels that the main TVs get, but we get all of the major networks, which will suffice for hurricane season. Picture quality is amazing for such a small unit. Setup and initial scan are important to get right.
For the money spent this is definitely worth it. Having a radio during a grid-down situation is nice, but having a TV is so much better.
Pros: picture quality / screen clarity, sound features, ease of use, menus are easy to navigate
Cons: battery life (of course I'd like it to be longer)
Ability to pick up channels can be a pro or con depending upon where you are; in my area I get enough to mark it as a pro...
Too Hot to Handle August 22, 2010 A. Barrett (Delray Beach, FL) We have used this tv only occasionally since June 2010. It works fine for a few minutes, then stops. The batteries heat up so much they can't be touched. When we called the service center yesterday and explained the problem, they immediately directed us to return the tv which we did. They will either repair it or replace it.
wish choice August 6, 2010 KaseyKool I recently purchased this pocket sized t.v. and am very pleased with its size and how clear the picture is. Also that many many channels can be received on it. I would recommend this without any hesitation. It's a keeper!

Great little portable TV July 29, 2010 Tom in Texas (Plano, TX USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This television (which is identical to one sold at Radio Shack under the Auvio brand name) is almost unique in filling the niche for a very small, handheld TV that will work in the digital era, and it does it quite well. The image quality is good, and reception is pretty decent, especially considering how small the built in antenna is.
The only things that would have made this set a little better would be if it had a wide screen display and if the built in antenna were a little bigger and sturdier, but those are minor complaints.
