Excellent product. Beautiful picture. Built in battery, no batteries to buy. Lightweight. Came within 3 days. Easy to set up. I also bought another portable tv. Not as easy to set up. Have to use 10 batteries, attached battery pack, very heavy. The Coby is just perfectCoby TF-TV891 Portable 8 inch Widescreen TFT LCD TV with Digital Dual ATSC/NTSC Tuner

I really enjoy this mini TV. The picture quality is great and the inputs allow me to use this unit in the car with a bunch of different electronics. I put a power inverter in the cigarette lighter and my kids can plug in and play their x-box in the car. The can also attach their ipods to it and watch videos. A very handy little TV

Bought this tv on vacation through Tenn., Carolina and Alanta area. Never got more than a couple chanels. When I got back to central Florida I bought a similar protable TV and did a side by side test. The other tv got 11 station and the Coby got 2. Since I bought it on a long vacation, I am having a hard time returning the TV. I realy expected more. I will not by another Coby product as I can not believe this was an oversight.

I should say this is the worse TV I have not seen. It doesn't pick up any channels most of the time. Every now and then, a channel comes in if you rotate the antenna enough times and cross your fingers. Every now and then. Not often. When you do actually get it to show a picture, it also forgets where the channels are so you have to re-program it every time you use it. I have called the manufacturer and they are almost no use. They will not refund, and will only repair/replace this piece of trash during the first 90 days after you purchase. Do not buy this TV! In fact, after my experience with this TV, I will never buy any product from Coby again and Amazon does a disservice to their customers by carrying this brand.

I use this TV everyday. It is great so far. It replaces an Accurian from Radio Shack that never got all the major channels and kept changing channels. This Coby gets all the locations. Sound is good, picture great. I picked it because of the available separate antenna - so I could move it and not the TV. I like everything about it except the off/on Power switch. It is inconveniently located for keeping it on a shelf.

This TV sucks. We got zero channels. Guess we will have to fight it out with the seller to attempt to return this garbage.

It would be a great tv if it received more than 3 channels. We live within 20 miles of Boston, MA. and could not get it to receive more than a few channels.

This is my 2nd Portable/battery operated TV I've purchased and it works great. I keep it at the office to listen to breaking news and weather. Even w/ externial antenna, it has to be near a window to get some of the weaker channels. Once I figured that out, I was able to pick a lot of channels. It is what it is, a TV to be used as needed. I keep one in my emergency box. Never know when the zombies will attack!

I live 20 miles south of Houston, Tx and I get 33 channels. It works in the car & in the house and has 2+ hours on the battery. Purchased as a emergency TV so when the next hurricane knocks power out for a week or two I can catch/see the news updates and not just listen to the AM news radio. This TV meets all my needs 100%.
