By	Phillip R. Poovey (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I an delighted with the performance of the Eviant 7" portable TV! I keep in a a hall bathroom where it recieves 7 stations (4 HD) with a beautifully clear and crisp picture and acceptable sound. It is perfect for the storms (rain/ice) that can damage cable TV delivery! An excellent choice for the "emergency" TV!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!!, November 17, 2009

By	Grandma Mac (Greenville, NC USA) - See all my reviews

I have this TV and I am extremely pleased. I get 17 channels with the little antenna that comes with it. The remote works well, however I don't really need it. It was very easy to set up. Just turn it on and follow the onscreen instructions. I didn't even have to read the instructions that came with it. The picture is crisp and clear and so is the sound. I use it in my master bath to get the news and weather while I am getting ready for work. I will be purchasing several more for Christmas gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful emergency portable TV set., January 27, 2010

By	Sid Blick (Cincinnati, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

I feel this is a great emergency portable TV; that could be used in emergencies, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, while you're working on jobs, suburban camping, on the patio, etc...

This TV set has both an analog and a digital tuner; which enables me to get TV signals from over the air or cable. Surprisingly I found out that my cable also broadcasts some local digital signals on the cable; so surprisingly I found out that I could get analog and some digital channels on my basic cable tier.

I live in a trailer so I'm surrounded by metal and I can't get local over the air TV signals unless I put the antenna near a window then I can get a few local channels. However I try to simulate an emergency by sticking the antenna on the roof and standing with the TV by the door and I was able to pull in a surprising amount of channels; much more than I even can pull in with an analog TV with the antenna outside. The TV tuner seems to be reasonably sensitive. On the one I got the VHF seems to be fairly sensitive and I can pull in the same basic channels that I could with my old TV. The UHF tuner seems to be more sensitive than my old TV and antenna so I can receive more basic channels that I used to. So I can receive about the same number of commercial broadcast channels; but I pick up more stations because of multi-broadcasting. The amount of public broadcasting stations channels that I can pick up is more; and is multiplied by multi-casting; so I could pick up many more stations over the air.

I'm giving this TV set five stars because it's better than I expected and it's an excellent value for the price I paid for it.

I read a review from someone that said that the channels had to be rescanned every time that the TV was powered on; that's not true. I found that if you let it finish its scan, it will reboot and rescan a second time and then it will store and remember the channels. I switched back and forth between antenna and cable scan profiles and it remembered each profile.

The downside is that the remote control doesn't have numbers, so it has very limited controls, so you have to scroll through the channels, so if you have a lot of channels it can take a long time to scroll through all of them. I received about 37 channels over the air and about 90 on my basic cable tier. It would be nice if it had numbers so you could just key in the channel. It of course lacks a last channel button; which I missed because I often flip back and forth between two programs. I haven't yet found a universal remote that lists this TV brand, and the universal remote automatic code search wouldn't work with it, because the automatic code search turns off the TV when it gets to the right code, however this TVs remote system does not turn the TV set on and off. I think TV manufacturer made the TV with a hardwire on and off switch so the remote sensor would not run down the TV when it's not in use and powered by batteries.

One thing that is kind of a poor design. They came up with a great idea of putting a couple slots and holes so you could hang the TV by the wall, regretfully the positions they put the holes in the slots is to hang the TV by its side instead of horizontally. So regretfully it's not safe to to watch the TV horizontally with the holes that are manufactured in the TV to hang it. The holes are manufactured into the TV are only to store the TV. It's a great space-saving storage feature, but it would've been better if they would've made the holes so you could hang the TV horizontally on a wall so you could watch it on the wall.

The TV I received had two different antennas, I really liked the magnetic mount antenna with a few feet of wire. It's great because I can stick the antenna on top of my trailer or on the top of my car and run the wire through the door window in an emergency situation.

Regretfully the TV package Amazon is currently buying from the manufacturer does not contain a cigarette lighter adapter. The battery run time seems to be about two hours (which is good for TV with this big of a screen), regretfully it's not user replaceable. If you have a car with cigarette lighter and an adapter you could always use the TV's battery; until a commercial and then go out your vehicle for power. The sound is tinny; which is what I would expect from a small cheap TV with small speakers.

I gave this TV five stars because I think it's a great buy or the price and because it's better than the other TVs I've tried its size and in its price range.

In my opinion the big winning features are.

It has an internal battery so in an emergency it can be used for about two hours off the battery.

It's powered by 12 V, so with an adapter it can easily be run off of common automotive batteries. With the provided power supply it can be run off US House current.

It comes with a remote.

The tuner is both analog and digital. (So I can run it off my cable, and in an emergency I can use an antenna).

It's a cable ready TV, that comes with two different types of antennas. One of the antennas has a cable with a magnetic mount.
