Product Description |
|
Axion AXN-8701 widescreen portable handheld TV gives you the ability to enjoy your favorite television programs anywhere in your home – even away from home. Use it to watch TV while others are occupying the main TV or the room where it is located. Watch the morning news without having to get out of bed, or while sun bathing in the back yard. The LCD TV has a 7-inch LCD widescreen that offers a high-resolution, high-brightness display. The built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner for both analog and digital channels and the built-in antenna enables you to receive crisp reception of your favorite channels - and it will work after the digital to analog transition on February 19, 2009. The AXN-8701 comes with an additional external antenna to help receive stronger reception. The portable player features A/V input for external audio/video sources. The built-in twin speaker system allows for multiple people to watch at once or you can plug your headphones into the headphone jack to enjoy your favorite programs without disturbing those around you. The rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery offers you a sufficient amount of time to watch several of your favorite shows without having to frequently recharge the battery. Portable TV includes an AC power adapter as well as a car adaptor (used by plugging into the cigarette lighter of your car) so you will be able to have unlimited use on a long road trip. Remote control, A/V cables and instruction manual are also included with portable TV player. |

The good and bad |
We are very pleased with our new "hurricane TV" and Axion's customer service. We were not so impressed with Giftsandfreeadvice's customer service. In 2004 we twice were without power for several days. While NOAA weather alerts are good, having the ability to see weather radar of hurricane eye walls and storm bands from local TV stations still on the air was important.
PRODUCT, Five stars.
PROS:
- Reception. Our local TV listings for the Tampa Bay area show 12 broadcast stations. When I did the initial autoscan (outside, with the accessory antenna on the roof of my car), I picked up 26 stations. Good reception with the telescoping antenna, better with the accessory antenna (kind of like a mini-CB antenna with a magnetic base)
- Picture. Much better than expected.
- Setup. Easy to do, with many options for display, sound, and channel selection. Particularly useful is the ability to "skip" some of the 26 channels initially detected for some channels I'll never need.
CONS:
- Battery life. About 1.5 hours with Standard picture option. Somewhat less if you choose the Dynamic option or really crank up brightness. A user-replaceable battery for around $25-$30 would be nice.
- The TV works well with the car adapter, but the car adapter does not recharge the internal battery. For that you need AC power.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
AMAZON, 2 stars.
I ordered the TV 7/24/10 and it arrived 8/2/10, not too bad. But the package did not contain the car adapter described by Giftsandfreeadvice on the date I ordered it. I rechecked the description 8/2/10 and it no longer mentioned a car adapter was included (although a picture of a car adapter was still present). The Axion user's guide also did not mention a car adapter was included. I emailed Giftsandfreeadvice and was advised to contact the manufacturer, and Giftsandfreeadvice provided both toll-free and local phone numbers. When I called the toll-free number I got the automated response that I had dialed a number "that cannot be reached from your calling area". The local number Giftsandfreeadvice provided put me in contact with a very nice lady at a State Farm insurance office in Sunnyvale California. Fortunately, the Axion user's manual had phone numbers inside the back cover. However, I was not optimistic that Axion would do anything other than offer to sell me the car adapter.
AXION, 5 stars.
The AXION customer service rep pointed out that a car adapter is not included in their package, but offered to send one to me free of charge if I would simply email the Giftsandfreeadvice purchase confirmation. I did so, and the adapter arrived 8 days later. Fantastic!
NOTE: As of today (I checked again) the Giftsandfreeadvice product description and details now include the car adapter. I recommend that anyone ordering anything print out the product description on the date you order so that if something changes before your order arrives, you've got some documentation in hand. |

Best purchase! |
|
This has been one of the best purchases I have made. I got this because during Hurricane Ike we didn't know what was going on for 5 days, so we needed a portable TV to watch. This small TV gets a better picture than any of our other TVs in the house! I keep it in the Kitchen to watch the news while I am cooking. The worst thing about it is that it only gets about 3 stations, but that is all we need during power outages to tell us what is going on. |
