This is a great little portable tv if you will be using it with cable outlet or DVD. I strongly do not recommend this tv if you plan to use it with an antenna. We originally bought the tv to use while camping in places where we don't always have cable access. We can't even pick up our local channels in our home using the best antennas money could buy. Called customer service and they were very unhelpful...told us that if the tv picked up cable channels, then there was nothing wrong with the tv reception. Cust Serv continued to tell us that we had poor reception in our home. However, we pick up all local channels with every other tv in our home using the same antennas we tried with this tv. I am going to send this tv back while it is still under warranty!

In spite of some of the poor reviews for this product, it met all of my expectations 100%. Thanks to the reviews, I understood that the unit doesn't have a builtin antenna or batteries, which was helpful to know in advance. But of course the specifications never claimed those features in the first place.

I was looking for a small TV to fit in the corner of my bathroom, and this unit is perfect for that. As a bonus, I can not only watch the news while I'm getting ready for work in the morning, but I can listen to MP3 rips when I'm in the shower. I've owned the unit for several weeks now, use it every day, and have never had a problem playing any disk, either copy-protected movies or CDs. My only concern so far has been that I didn't receive a warrantee card with the unit.

I especially like the portability. It's so easy to pick up and take anywhere, such as watching a movie in bed, and even outside (if it's not too bright out) for watching sports on the patio. The speakers are adequate, considering their size, and the headphone jack lets me either use headphones or external amplified speakers if I want better quality.

In summary, I have to repeat that my expectations were set before I bought the unit and I am very pleased with what I got for the price.

I bought this item to function as both a television and DVD player, and to replace my old, bulky Action (aka Axion) 5 inch TV. But the Axion TV/DVD would not operate as a TV because it never received about half of the broadcast channels in my area. I never tested the DVD player function.

I do not have cable or direct TV. The 3 TVs in my home receive all thirteen (13) local broadcast channels with the aid of indoor antennas, or, in the case of the 5-inch Action TV, via its built-in monopole antenna. So I was surprised when the Axion TV/DVD could not receive channels.

The Axion TV/DVD does not appear to have a built-in antenna. If it does, it is not visible. Without an antenna, it received about 2 of the 13 available channels, but poorly. I tried every possible indoor antenna I could find (Radio Shack was very gracious with all my returns). I returned the first unit and tried a second unit, thinking the first was defective, and again tried various antennas. I tried other locations for the TV/DVD. But at best I could only get about half of the 13 channels to be viewable, even with the best indoor antenna. I even called Axion itself, and they could not help. So I returned the second unit for a full refund.

If Axion ever builds a similar TV/DVD player with a similar price that has decent TV reception, I would give it another try because the price and small size are great.

This is a nice little TV/DVD system.
It's small, wall mountable and has a 90 degree F connector for connecting a regular coax cable instead of just using RCA cables.

The picture quality is good and the sound quality is acceptable but not great. Played DVDs, CDs, MP3 Cds and jpeg CDs fine.

If the sound quality had been better I would have given it 5 stars.

Needed a tv that did not take up space and could be loaded with a dvd easily for my bedside table. This one did the trick nicely. Good features, good picture, good sound. Works very well with dvd's and pillow speaker to keep my partner from being bothered with my late night movie watching.

i got this to have at our home for our grandson but it came with no remote although the box stated one was included plus it didn't seem to work in our home with our cable service and after calling customer service several times and only getting voice mail.....i felt it might be a sign that this product was a lemon and i'd better cut my loses and return it! it may just have been the ONE that i received but it didn't seem like an American made high quality item. Again it may only have been ONE lemon and the rest may all be super....but i'm only commenting on my experience so you can weigh your decision to buy or not on that. =D

Very rarely am I so impressed where I feel compelled to write up an optional review of something I purchase. But in this case im happy to take the time to do so. My reason for buying this product was to keep informed of news and weather condition's during power outages, I have a 1500 Volt Ampre UPS battery back-ups system hooked up to this TV and between it's very modest voltage requirements, DVD feature, and of course TV capability, It's worked out astronomically well..........The performance and quality of service/reception it provide's is second to NOTHING ive used in the past. Im a 2-Way radio comm's tekky type person, and always beleived in being prepared for the un-expected, but I must stress the point as to how well this little TV work's & what a fine fit and finish the company put into it's production of this DVD/TV/Video Display unit. Thank's Amazon.Com for offering it to us, and for the fine website choices I had available to me. Respectfully Yours....Frank.

This portable TV sounds great except they made a few mistakes in the design. They don't tell you that there is NO ANTENNEA nor that the TV will not work without an antennea! The portable DVD player is great. THE TV IS HORRIBLE. When we did get an antennea the tv worked but we went to numerous stores and the all the antenneas we found were big and bulky plus had to be hooked then unhooked when we wanted to put the unit away without an antennea sticking out to get broken. DON'T BUY THIS FOR THE TV! We ended up purchasing a different product that had the antennea built in. This one was a total waste of money.

I've never written a review before but I see this product is getting a bum rap by some people who are upset that it doesn't have an internal antenna. If you have cable hook-up don't let them deter you from purchasing this excellent TV/DVD player. The picture is superb and the sound quality is very good. I've been using it for 8 months now in the kitchen and have had not one single problem. My house guests also like it. Highly recommend! April 6 2008- I am now adding nearly 2 years later that this is still an excellent product with no problems. It works and looks as good as the day it arrived.

This is a great DVD/TV combo. I receive most of the channels via an external antenna. I have this in my personal room. I don't need to buy another separate DVD player. It's really a space saver. The DVD runs great and clear. I also hook up this to my cable TV. It can receive all channels. I strongly recommend this one.
