Axion AXN-8701 Portable Handheld TV

Let's look at it in a little more detail. This digital handheld TV from Axion has 7 inch wide LCD, built in antenna, NTSC/ATSC tuner and twin speaker system. The picture quality is very good and the built in antenna picks up signal very well. It comes with an AC adapter, a car adapter and an internal rechargeable battery.

Note that NTSC is the analog TV system and ATSC is the digital TV sytem used in the U.S. Being a dual NTSC/ATSC tuner, this unit will let you watch both analog and digital channels. Most importantly it will work after the final switch from analog to digital TV takes place on Feb 17, 2009.

The Axion has a head phones jack, and comes with a pair of headphones. This is great when you want a bit of privacy or when you don't want to disturb others. There is also a car adapter so if you are the passenger you can watch TV in the car. Simply plug the car adapter into the cigarette lighter for power. You won't miss your favorite shows and will be able to catch up on the latest news.

Used at home this product lets you enjoy television in places that you weren't able to before. For example by placing the unit on the bathroom counter you can now watch TV while taking a relaxing bubble bath. Another good use for it is during power failures, when you would not be able to watch your regular TV. While watching it at home, you may find that certain places in a room are better at picking up signals than others. The good news is that the AXN-8701 comes with an additional external antenna to help you receive stronger signals. Use the external antenna when you need a little boost in signal reception and clarity.

Other convenient features include a remote control though it probably will not be used much. Most people will be watching the TV while sitting or standing right in front of the screen. It also has an A/V input if you want to plug in an external audio/video device.
