Fun fact: It supports ATSC, DVB-T2, DB, Analog TV, ISDB-T and DMB-TH but someone set it to ATSC so yeah. 0:01

6:20 i did not know about that.😮

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Yep, it happened.

[@Nicholas_Chris]

Cool. Looks like in 2024 I can buy new portable handheld digital TV. I remember back in 2017 Techmoan did an unboxing and review with a portable digital TV DVB-T2 model and it was cool. The problem will be when ATSC 3.0 will be the new standard and that TV will not receive the new standard. Back to handheld TVs unfortunatelly I couldn't find a handheld digital TV, I only found brand new 40 cm camping 1080p TV that requires 12 Volts power, good thing that my model has a 230 Volt power adapter included so I can use it as regular TV. But if you go to a place where there is no electricity or you may experience a power outage the 12 Volt TV is no use if you don't have a car or a car battery and this is why everyone should have handheld TVs, but there can be a scenarios when there is a problem with the broadcasting tower, internet may not work and satellite TV is the only solution.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I think that ATSC 1.0 will be around in some form for a long time. I used an ATSC tuner stick to revive an old analog handheld TV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6rLe3eEaZhrpa8si=KnOPrHJza7fV76V_

[@sneevegastv7606]

But when atsc 3 becomes the only signal which will probably be atleast a decade from now this tv will still work with stuff from the sd card slot

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@sneevegastv7606 I use it as a media player to watch content off a USB thumb drive.

[@sneevegastv7606]

@@NorthcoasterHobby cool I use the micro sd so nothing is sticking out

[@Demy1970]

I wonder if you could use as a second small monitor

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Good idea- however this particular model doesn’t have an AV input. Other models might have that though. I have an older analog handheld that has AV input. I connected it to an ATSC tuner stick. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6rLe3eEaZhrpa8si=KnOPrHJza7fV76V_

[@Kookiez29]

@@NorthcoasterHobby You could probably use a few adapters and converters to make it so, but at that point it probably isn't convenient. HDMI to RCA adapter, then the cheap modulator you reviewed would do the trick.

[@stanleybest8833]

You took on the question of 12 volt operation head on. It's a trend that new portable small TV's have omitted the 12 volt cable. Is it sheer corporate stupidity or something more nefarious? I notice that ATSC 3.0 was left out of the picture. That is a good trend. I''ll just stick with 12 volt NTSC analog from times past.

[@GeorgianBoy-c4d]

It can’t receive satellite tv channels:(

[@GeorgianBoy-c4d]

But can you make a video about connecting a satellite receiver to a lead star tv using an rca cable, uhf modulator and a coaxial cable?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@GeorgianBoy-c4d I’ll think about it!

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@GeorgianBoy-c4d No, just over-the-air ATSC.

[@GeorgianBoy-c4d]

@@NorthcoasterHobby oh but it can also support analog tv and other digital tv standards. It said in the box before unboxing.

[@GeorgianBoy-c4d]

Does it have batteries?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@GeorgianBoy-c4d It has a rechargeable battery built in.

Ciao, ha la fnzione PVR ? È possibile registrare i programmi si chiavetta usb? Grazie.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Ciao e grazie per aver visitato il mio canale. Questo televisore non dispone della funzione PVR, ma riprodurrà file video tramite USB.

[@pom]

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know about how much view-time you get off of a single charge?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

It's hard to say, maybe 4-5 hours of use, but that is just an estimate. Might be more, might be less.

[@SarahC2]

@@NorthcoasterHobby Not bad! Your review is excellent. Do you know what kind of ariel connector it uses? It looks larger than an SMA.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@ It’s an F-connector. Commonly used on RG6 coaxial cable used for cable TV and TV antennas. Thanks for the kind comments!

[@SarahC2]

@@NorthcoasterHobby Thank you for letting me know! I've done ham radio for a year and not come across it before. Kind comments? No, accurate! If I was being kind I'd tweak my description into the positive to be kind, but had no reason to do any tweaking to my comment. =D

[@VynilCat]

I tried auto scanning but no channels showed up, what do I do ?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@VynilCat I would say you would have to look at the type of antenna you’re using or how the antenna is aimed. If it’s an indoor antenna, try locating it higher up and in a window that faces the broadcast towers. If it’s an outdoor antenna, you might have to relocate it outside in an area where there is no obstructions such as trees between the antenna and the broadcast signal. Rescan each time you move the antenna around.

[@krat0us]

I been looking for a portable TV with fm am radio to take camping. Any suggestions?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@krat0us One of these- it has TV and FM. I’m not any other ATSC TV’s have AM radio (not sure why??). Check the video description for some links to TV’s for sale.

[@robertshade8631]

Is a portable converter box required for traveling with the tv to get over the air channels?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@robertshade8631 No. this TV already has a digital ATSC tuner built-in. All you have to do is connect an antenna and run a channel scan.

[@Coolmaaaaaan]

Ive been wanting to get this for so long but not sure if it will work, its bit pricey for me cause iam in 3rd world country, we use a digital tuner box that the local government started selling to move away from analog, the tuner box displays in uhf signal and the portable tv has built in tv tuner for uhf signal but still i dont know if it will work without the tuner box hence it wouldnt be portable anymore.

[@kayceee6474]

Does it work in canada?

@@kayceee6474 Yes- it absolutely does. I am in Canada.

[@Quietprofessional1]

Can you please tell me how many watts the AC power adapter draws?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

The only information on the adapter label is input 100-240 V AC, 0.5A, output 12V 1.5A. There is no information about wattage. However W=AxV, so if the voltage is 120 x 0.5 A, then 60 watts. I think that’s how it is calculated.

[@nigelpottinger901]

You don't know when a power outage will occur so it would have to be charged every day if not charged makes no sense only if going on Ling journey or camping but not emergency same thing as with power banks

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@nigelpottinger901 All the more reason to keep it charged up! Or keep a power inverter in your car to go from DC to AC.

[@FishTankKush]

if only it was usb powered

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

It is 12V DC powered. You can use a 12 volt plug as I showed in the video to power it, or the included AC adapter. I’m not sure it being USB powered provides any real benefit.

[@fdh342]

Just use your phone at that size.

For OTA?

How do you get local TV channels OTA on a phone?

@ You can only if you connect an external tuner.
