Received my 7" Haier in late May. Set it up immediately and was disappointed with the number of local stations it was able to pull in.
Knowing that digital can be more difficult to receive, I recently purchased a good set of rabbit ears and proceeded to reprogram it. It did better but still not worthwhile.
I then set-up two separate TV's with the same rabbit ears. One TV was already digital (a 19" Sharp with built in digital tuner), the 2nd TV was an old analog (12" Sony). We have a converter box for the Sony and use it in our bathroom where we can not easily run our cable system. Both TV's worked well and pulled in every local station including several that the Haier could not.
I am returning the Haier and will stick with one of the other two TV's in event of power failure (we live in an area of Florida that has frequent power outages). I will power the other TV's with a 110V battery back up system we have for emergency.
Some day, when one of the good manufacturers make a decent battery powered digital TV, I will gladly buy it. We had two (2) battery powered analog ones we just stopped using when the analog stations went off the air (a Sony and a Panasonic). Hope these companies jump into the small battery powered digital TV business soon.Get more detail about Haier HLT71 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV.
