i'm looking for a portable tv with really good channel reception?

Q. i'm scheduled to work during the nfl playoffs, but i dont want to miss them.if i had a digital ready portable tv i could watch all the action while maintaining my post.i bought one tv made by haier that didnt pick up channels at all.my budget is 100$ plus shipping.i live 30 miles northwest of chicago and the business i work at has walls that hinder reception.please help thank you very much.

A. Their are a few Portable HDTV's out there to Choose from.

I think there are 5 or more Portable 7-10inch TV's out there, which are Widescreen/HD.
They have a Built-in Digital ATSC Tuner for watching Local Broadcasts over a Retractable Antenna.
They come with a Built-in Battery like a Cell-Phone.

$100+ should get you a one, but Expect to pay a little more.
That Haier Brand sucks... Try an Eviant T7: http://tv.toptenreviews.com/portable/eviant/eviant-t7-review.html I Think it's about $130

Checkout Radio Shack, H.H. Gregg [If you have one in Chicago], Best Buy, or any other Electronics Retailer. They all have a few to choose from. And they Should be on Display to checkout for yourself. ;^)
*Office Max & Office Depot might have them, too! ;^)


What TV would be best for my grandma?
Q. I have a 76 year old grandma whos TV just broke. It was an old Zenith 25 inch. It was kinda fuzzy. But she has eye problems. She lives in an apartment building with a roof antenna. So we bought her a Westinghouse 26 ince HDTV LCD. It has a built in HD tuner so we could get the HD channels. We live in the chicago area so the channels we get are 2, 5, 7, 9, 32. The only thing she doesn't like is that you have to enter for example 32.1 to get the channel 32 HD. Otherwise it's fuzzy. She also wanted something bigger. No bigger that 32 inch. Her price range is under 600. PLEASE HELP. IT'S AN EMERGENCY.

A. You're not going to find a 32" true HDTV for under $600 that isn't junk.


What do you guys use for your HDTV to get your local channels in HD?
Q. If you use an antenna what kind do you use? Is an outdoor antenna better than an indoor antenna? I used a normal indoor antenna and all I can get is just ABC HD. You can get all of the local channels in HD, right? I need help on this, thanks. Oh, and my HDTV has an ATSC tuner.

This is the TV:-

No, I don't have cable yet.
I actually bought it at hh gregg and for a good price.

A. an outdoor may be better, but an indoor is just so much easier to use...

the quality between both of them are the same, but an HD indoor antenna sometimes does not pick up all the channels...you just have to position it right...

like here near chicago, i can't seen to pick up channel 2 (cbs) with the antenna...but when i move it to the other side of the tv, it works :D

idk its weird sometimes...i walk in front of it and it sometimes loses reception for a second, then comes back up....

so if you want the little extra work, go with the outdoor one..

and you may want to consider going to best buy to purchase your tv if you haven't so already...circuit city is all rip off...and the service is not as good
