2.0 out of 5 stars Caveat emptor: Don't get snookered!, November 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: FLO TV Personal Television PTV 350 (Electronics)
The device itself is impressive. However: BEWARE!

I reviewed the product website before purchasing, verified that my area has service, checked the features, etc. BUT: whadyaknow? On the program guide, there is a drop-down for 'Filter channels by ...' I guessed that would allow me to choose 'family' and 'music' and 'news', but NO! It filters by DEVICE, and if ALL your are doing is giving them $250 for their device, you have access to only a SUBSET of their channels! They claim to provide 20 channels of viewing, but if ALL you have is their $250 device, you get ... NINE. That's right: NINE! The remainder of their channels are reserved for people watching on their TELEPHONES, i.e., people who did NOT give them $250 for their device.

Also of note: There is no manual with the device. To sign up you need an access code, but nowhere are you told where to find the access code. (I called India and the person there told me it is three menus deep inside the device.) There are ZERO instructions for charging the device (it uses a USB -> wall outlet system); those instructions are available on the website.

Further: The contract booklet (about 40 pages) includes the notation that if you pay for a plan in advance and Flotv goes bankrupt or otherwise liquidates, you've lost your cash, don't even ask.

Otherwise, it's just fine.

UPDATE with a week's experience: The content offerings are just bizarre. I tuned in to 60 Minutes at the regular time on Sunday and got ... the PREVIOUS WEEK'S SHOW! On Thursday on their NBC channel, they showed Community, Parks & Rec, Blind Date, and 30 Rock. Read that carefully: instead of The Office, they substituted some silly reality half-hour. Make no plans and have no expectations with this product!

They have added more channels, including ESPN and Disney, and there's some good college hoops on live this T'giving weekend.

Still, unless a lot changes in the next few months, when the 6 months free service expires, I will NOT be purchasing the service. I may have bought a $250 paperweight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow. Very Impressive!, November 14, 2009
By Dave (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: FLO TV Personal Television PTV 350 (Electronics)
I'd have to say that this device has really exceeded my expectations so far. The picture quality is really impressive and I've had no problem at all getting clear reception. The screen size is perfect for keeping the device mobile but still plenty large enough to be easy on the eyes.

A couple of things that really jump out at me are:

-Instant channel changing-
It really is like a regular TV. This is where I was most skeptical because I have tried various mobile video products in the past and they all have connecton issues of some sort. But the FLO TV has no buffering, skipping, or sync issues between the video and audio. That alone is worth the money.

-Built in speakers-
You can actually hear this thing without having to crank it up to full volume. Very unusual for any mobile device that has built in speakers. Good sound quality as well.

-Touch screen-
The touch screen is really responsive. You don't have to use two hands and press down with all your might just to make something happen.

-Battery life-
It is so nice to not have to carry a charger around everywhere. Getting 5 hours worth of battery life versus the standard 1 or 2 hours on other mobile devices will be great.

So far so good. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sleek, impressive device., December 23, 2009
By Michael Ashe (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: FLO TV Personal Television PTV 350 (Electronics)
My Dad was asking for a portable tv for Christmas because his old portable tv became obsolete when tv went digital. He likes Fox news and ESPN so I figured this flo tv unit would be perfect. I set the device up in SF (Dad is in LA) so I could make sure it works before giving it to him. I was mostly impressed with the picture. There were some minor artifacts but I was blown away by the color. The device itself is very sleek. I watched the device in a cab ride to the BART station and it maintained a signal throughout. It also worked at SFO as well as the car ride from LAX to Santa Monica. My Mom and Sister were oohing and aahing. I gave it to my Dad at a house near Lake Castaic where cell phone service is pretty crappy. It even worked there but it was skipping slightly at times. When we got it back to my Dad's house in Malibu however the picture looked better than I'd ever seen it. He used the word "amazing" several times. The picture really does look spectacular there. It's incredibly sharp and crisp and the colors are phenomenal, just like cable tv quality. I was able to read all the text that appeared on the screen, even tiny words moving across the bottom during the news. He was blown away by the picture too, especially since he was comparing it to his old portable tv. (Which happened to be a great model he got about a year before tv went to digital)

I think he was slightly disappointed that it doesn't get local tv channels but when he saw it gets Fox news live (about a 12 second delay) he said that sold him on it.

Pros: Outstanding picture in strong signal areas and good picture in most other areas. Sleek, pocket friendly design. I like the built in stand design. Great speakers for such a small device.

Cons: No local channels available (as of the writing of this review). After the 6 month free period is over, it will cost $14.99/month. That's kind of steep considering there are so few channels available. (I think there are about 15) I'm guessing they will offer a better package deal when the 6 months is up. I read somewhere that more channels will be added.
