What a great buy and a really solid little item. The screen on this little beauty is really clear and the sound is good considering the size. Although the UK is phasing out Terrestrial TV by 2010, this TV will still be good for taking of holiday abroad as most of the European countries will still have terrestrial/analogue TV for years to come. The TV input on this device can also be used to work as a monitor for other peripheral items so long as you have the cable, which I've yet to track down. Some modifications by some clever people on Youtube have also been able to use this little TV to view Digital Freeview by simply winding a wire around the antenna and connecting it to the coaxial out port on a digital box. Seems to work well. If you get a chance to buy one of these gems, grab one quick before they get consigned to the Gadget Archive.Read full review
It's so handy to watch while you do the washing up, and, being very portable you can take it anywhere in the house or even outside in the garden. If you want to, you can even watch it in the car - when stationary of course! So, there we have it, you can watch this little tv anywhere - period. Even though the screen is small it still big enough to understand what is going on when watching a programme. There is nothing that I really dislike - I mean, considering it only cost a total of £14.30 including shipping its not at all bad, what can you buy for 15 pounds these days. I suppose I only swear when the batteries go flat, so the answer to that is to use rechargeable ones. These tv's are one of the worlds best kept secrets, and for that I give it ten out of ten.
I bought the handheld TV because I thought it might come in usefull; being on a train, stuck in traffic etc. On the whole the reception is pretty poor, however when you do manage to get a decent reception you can more or less make out what is on the screen although it does give you a headache after a while! In summary, if I had paid top whack for it (I think some shops still sell them for £100!) then I'd be a bit upset, but at just over £10 it is still a bargain. It's simple to use, you can't store any channels but the scanner is OK and you can usually pick up all 5 terrestrial channels, with varying degrees of reception. The radio-type arial is a bit old fashioned, but for the price I paid on ebay I'm relatively happy.
