 Very poor reception! December 1, 2008
I read all the reviews prior to purchasing this and thought that since I live in a metropolitan area I wouldn't have any problems getting good reception. Boy was I wrong. I got only one channel and even it wasn't clear. The antenna is a joke. The tv itself is nicely made but they definitely need to improve on the reception as who wants a portable tv that only works with cable. I am returning it and trying the Axion. Let's hope I have better luck.

I have a portable televsion now that I love but it is not digital so I have to get a new one. I read the reviews on this television and it seemed like a good joice so I ordered it. I was very disappointed with the reception. Even though I live in a very large metropolitan area, I didn't receive even one channel that was clear enough to watch.
 Best product ever! I love it. November 22, 2008

Pro: Great ATSC digital reception. Bright & sharp screen. Added external antenna for better reception. Easy to operate. Remote control. Built-in battery. Back stand for sitting still on any flat surface. Car cord is included.
Con: Analog signal reception is a little weak. Remote control can't do volume up/down. Can't charge internal battery with the car cord.
Conclusion: Very good performance. BEST value product. A must-buy for coming holiday season.
I LOVE this TV November 19, 2008

I had a 5" black and white in my kitchen and knew with the digital conversion, I would need something else. I ordered this based on the 2 reviews out there at the time and I am so pleased with this TV. I live in Houston so there are almost 40 channels available between the digital and the analog, I get channels on this that I don't even get on my standard cable! initially I had trouble with some of the digital stations, I kept moving the TV around trying to pick up the signal (my problem was that I want the TV to sit under my cabinets and I guess that was interfering with the antenna picking up clear signals). I was getting frustrated and then remembered the other antenna it comes with. I unplugged the internal connection and plugged this extra antenna in and placed it on my window sill and all the channels came in perfectly without having to adjust anything. The cord on the extra stand up antenna is long enough to put it rather far from the TV which is very convenient because you can move it around to find the best reception. The picture is clear as a whistle and the sound is very good, not muffled or fuzzy at all. The wide screen is another bonus, most of the digital HD channels are in wide screen mode so it works out well. This is a no brainer to set up and I am so glad I took the plunge and bought it!
 Perfect kitchen TV. Remote control a little lacking. November 18, 2008

I got this for my kitchen so I can watch the news while cleaning up after dinner. This TV is perfect for that sort of task. It picked up about 2/3 of the channels that my big tv gets with the built in antenna on autotune. With the external antenna it receives all but one (one of those channels way up in the 100's with the big haired religious preachers). I don't mind that it missed that one. It's clear enough to read the annoying scrolling messages that the stations like to run along the bottom of the screen.
The internal antenna and external both connect with a coax. Don't be stupid like I was and try to attach the external directly to the TV. A nice 90 degree adapter is included so that you can easily switch between the two antennas by just pulling one off and replacing it with the other. I did not see that part right away because I am one of those people who never reads directions.
The remote is one of those tiny credit card things. It does not have a volume control (but does have mute). You adjust the volume with a dial on the side of the TV. It is loud enough to be heard over a running dishwasher. The old Coby this replaces did not have volume on the TV and I found that annoying since when I could not find the remote I could not adjust it.
Hint:
If you can not get the TV to let you adjust the time zone and daylight savings time you need to switch it to a digital channel. Also, only on digital channels does the "guide" button, (which tells you about what is on) work.
Works well for what I want to use it for. I would not want to watch, say a PBS special, on it because of the size, but it is perfect for a portable TV.
