 Great little portable TV! August 15, 2009

Just received my Tivax RiRex7 7 Inch Digital TV from Amazon yesterday, and I am delighted with this purchase!
I was looking for just the right portable digital TV to have on hand during our hurricane season in Florida.
This was the only portable TV that I found that in addition to the rechargable Li-on batteries, also uses regular alkaline batteries. When the electricity goes out, having an alternative to rechargable batteries is a must! With the supplied antenna, and using battery power, I was able to pick up 17 digital channels! The color and picture quality are better than I anticipated. For the many features that this Tivax portable TV offers, it is a great value for the money, and well worth waiting for. The only thing missing is the "docking station" that houses the alternative alkaline batteries. Hopefully, Amazon will be offering this soon!
Yes, I put this one through it's paces. January 7, 2010

OK, so, the majority of the bad reviews on here - you can pretty much ignore them. Many are simply shouting their ignorance loudly.
Added features of USB host & SD card slots - VERY nice features.
Docking station is required for AA battery use - I have one, it works great!
Set requires two battery packs - they are different sizes and only fit in one way.
Docking station can recharge a second set of the battery packs in addition to housing the AA batteries - how cool is that?
This is an ATSC TV. It picks up digital broadcasts - most of which are in the UHF frequencies. Many stations still use their old VHF channel number as part of their logo, but are now actually broadcasting in UHF frequencies. This TV (and others like it) will show those stations on the channel (frequency) that they are actually broadcasting on. Example, my local ABC affiliate is Channel 7. Their ATSC broadcast is on channel 20. This TV finds their broadcast on channel 20.
A few words about NTSC vs ATSC reception...
On old NTSC portable TVs if you sort-of received part of a signal, with some sound, you were able to watch TV.
On new ATSC portable TVs you must have a moderate to GOOD signal in order to receive -anything-.
So, a 6" antenna isn't likely to cut it for many stations -unless- you're smarter than the antenna.
The antenna that these units ship with is a magnetic mount whip - the basic idea is that you put it on the roof of a car. The metal roof then acts as a ground plain - and helps the signal. That said, you're not going to get much luck trying to drive and receive an ATSC signal - for that explanation you'll have to do more research than this.
To outsmart the antenna there are 3 options.
1. Connect it to cable - OK, so that isn't a good option.
2. Connect it to a big antenna - more on this next paragraph.
3. Provide a ground plane for the included antenna. This is easy. Get out a cast iron pan, flip it over, stick the antenna in the middle of it, done. Steel cookie sheet works well. I used a wok. This simple trick with the magnetic antenna can DOUBLE the reception of this TV.
The ATSC receiver in these sets is actually very good. By using a custom built Yagi antenna I was able to pull down a solid ATSC signal from 78 miles away with it. I backpacked the TV in, with it's AA docking station and the 7' long custom antenna to the top of a hill and the guys and I watched the big 12 championship game from the middle of nowhere. 78 miles from the broadcast tower. I was on top of a 500' hill and pointing the antenna up a valley - so it is an ideal condition reception at that point.
Each set of eight AA batteries (docking station) nets about 1.5 - 2 hrs of viewing. The stock batteries get about 2 hours.
Anyway, it's a great TV - great price - the docking station works (read the directions) and it WILL receive stations from a long distance IF you put it on a big antenna. Most city dwellers should receive the majority of their local broadcasts IF they provide a ground plane for the included magnetic mount antenna. You most likely have a great ground plane in the drawer under your oven - the roaster pan. Flip it over first.
Some people have said the controls are confusing. It also comes with a remote control that isn't confusing and is laid out as you would expect it to be. Once you use the remote, the controls on the TV itself make a lot more sense.
I bought this through HSN linked to from Amazon. By doing so I was able to get the whole package with the docking station included.
Great little portable TV August 28, 2009

I'm real happy with it. I don't use it outside of my house so no need for the batteries. I just keep it plugged in by my fridge in the kitchen and works great. Very happy.
Highly recommend for emergencies November 17, 2009

Reading the reviews on here I hesitated to order this tv. Glad I did. Living alone in an ice storm prone area, I depended on my little b/w tv to keep me informed. Received my tv and with the supplied antenna was able to pick up 6 or more channels and I'm over 40 miles from tv stations. Unfortunately the adapter for cable or another antenna was not in box. Radio Shack or Best Buy do not carry them. Called Tivax and they sent me one, free, in 4 days. Just plugged it up to a 15 yr old Radio Shack unamplified antenna and WOW, 40 channels, clear as a bell! I'm a Grandmama and absolutely not tech savy but I had no trouble at all figuring out how to use this tv. Great service from Amazon and Tivax. The picture and sound are superb. Ordered the battery holder also and it doubles for a stand for the little tv. Now all I have to do to be prepared is stock up on AA batteries and Sam's Club has a great deal on them. Knowing you can stay informed and be entertained during a power outage is great Peace of Mind.
Do not place too much weight on the negative reviews. This is a GREAT product! March 14, 2010

So...let me first off just give you a little color around the reason why I was looking to purchase a portable digital TV.
My father is a HUGE Ohio State Buckeye fan. He has always wanted to go to the Rose Bowl, but has never been. So, for Xmas...I gave him tickets on the 45 yard line to the 2010 Rose Bowl Game, flights, hotel and an all expense paid trip to Pasadena. Of course he was elated as we set of to California...
In addition the the Game...we also had seats to the Rose Bowl Parade and the OSU Alumni Association Tailgate Party. Let me just say...a GREAT time was had...
Granted...The Rose Bowl Game was the highlight of the entire trip, but there was ONE thing that made the game SO MUSH MORE ENJOYABLE AND MEMORABLE! Do you know what it was?
Well let me tell you. It was the Tivax HiRez7 Portable TV and docking station that I purchased a few days before Xmas from Amazon. I had a headphone splitter and we were both able to see/hear the Rose bowl game "live" and watch all the replays, calls "under review" and listen to the commentary on ABC. It was PRICELESS. With out question, we were the most popular people in our section as they looked over our shoulders and were constantly asking us about the plays!
Did I tell you that the TV picked up 73 digital channels? I might have missed that one. Plus, while waiting for the Rose Bowl to start, we were able to watch all the other live Bowl games as well.
Case in point...I would say that 15+ people asked me about the TV, the model number, how much it cost and where to get it. I gave out numerous business cards and many of them emailed me about the TV! One gentleman in particular, saw the TV and said in passing, "That is awesome...these guys are hard core."
The one thing that I should tell you is that before buying your TV...I did my research and you should know that this is the ONLY ONE that has a docking station and battery option. The Tivax HiRez7 is the ONLY TV that has an alkaline option battery powered docking station. Kudos to Tivax. Granted, I used rubber bands to keep both the docking station and the TV connected (it makes sense since I was at a live event), but I have talked to Tivax R&D and thy have taken notice and heard my comments.
OK...I am done, but not with out saying THANKS to Tivax! The Tivax HiRez7 TV made a ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT...PERFECT! It is something that I will never forget.
Cheers,
John
P.S. I work in sales, so for me to write a review like this should mean something. I am hyper critical, but not with this product.
P.P.S. My Tivax TV is now mounted in my bathroom and I use it everyday as I get ready for work, etc... Great product!
