I would like to buy that TV. It will be added to my SURVIVAL supplies.

Antenna boost commercial on youtube using your face from I'm assuming one of your videos to promote their products they just showed a brief clip of you holding an antenna but not what you were saying just wanted to make you aware of it

[@mistermac56]

The Philips antenna you used in the video works great in my apartment to pull in 99 percent of the local TV stations in my market from 30 miles away. I bought it when you originally reviewed it. I am going to buy one of the 7 inch Tyler portable TVs to use in an emergency and use it when I attend Tennessee Titans games.

[@TVNewsMan4TVNewsMan4]

I have a similar portable TV like this but not a Tyler brand, it’s the Supersonic brand. The two big takeaways that the Tyler TV offers over the Supersonic is the FM radio and HDMI port. I can attest that the built in tuner works great for the Supersonic and that I have had this TV for about 9 years now and it is still works. I hope the Tyler brand stands up as well as Supersonic.

[@billgreen1861]

I believe it's the same manufacturer under different Company name, I have both for over 6 years and no problems. 👍

[@onometre]

One thing I like about Tyler is they include a service manual for repairing the TV right in the box

[@roberthansen2008]

Thanks for showing this item. I could think of a lot of uses for this item. Looks pretty neat. I'd have to say one of the neatest portable TVs that you've ever shown.

[@jmr]

I don't use this type of device because I don't use them often enough and the battery goes bad. Instead I bought a couple of the tuner dongles that plug into a tablet or phone. That better fits my personal needs. Very interesting the Antenna Man has a similar experience. I'd say it's the nature of these devices and not the fault of any single brand.

[@AntennaMan]

Same here. I love the My Gica tuner dongle!

[@jmr]

​​@@AntennaManMine(portable TV)were not the same brand so that's interesting they had the same issue.

[@marthajohnson2775]

I have the Tyler 14" Widescreen portable TV. It's for emergencies only. I don't watch TV. It picks up every nearby TV station in my area. The picture quality is excellent if sitting directly in front of the screen. The quality diminishes as you move to either side, or try to watch it while standing. It has great sound and is very easy to use. It also has a built-in FM radio that picks up nearby radio stations very well. I listen to football games with it during football season. If you like music, it's great for that too. I recommend this Tyler 14" Widescreen TV to anyone looking for a small TV for camping, for use in an RV or for emergencies.

[@calzonemaniacsvideocorner0804]

Nice. I've always thought it would be neat to duct tape an antenna to a car, have the coax cord run through the window on the door, and have it hooked up to a portable TV to see what stations I get as I travel. Obviously someone else would have to drive.

[@AntennaMan]

The 7" TV actually comes with some kind of sticky thing for the stand to put it on the dashboard.

[@mariahbenetatos]

great concept but that's a good way to get it ripped off your car by a tree. XD

[@billgreen1861]

I'll give you a hint, get your newly licensed ( at least 6 months ) son to drive you around while you check for channels and receptions. They love to drive around when they get their license. But, before or after rush hours for a smother ride. I got my little sister to drive me around for a week, best driving practice she ever had.

[@calzonemaniacsvideocorner0804]

@@billgreen1861 I don't have any children (I just turned 23) and I don't have a license yet myself. I just wanted to point out something I was thinking about doing in the future 😅

[@brianinct4631]

That sounds neat. Unfortunately, you're going to have to wait for a portable TV with ATSC 3.0 tuning to watch TV while moving. The current ATSC 1.0 standard does not allow for mobile reception.

[@Markimark151]

This looks cool, this is the closest thing to the Sony Watchman in digital broadcasting! I would use this at picnics and in rural areas, because here we mostly have terrible wireless internet access near stadiums and event venues!

I NEEDED the link to those coax adapters. Thanks for that. I was looking for those earlier this week to help out with an earlier version of this TV I bought in order to use it on the rooftop for my antenna placement.

[@rickdaystar477]

Very cool option for viewing didn't know that they existed. 👍

[@vaxick]

That Phillips antenna works great in my heavily stacked VHF area, with the exception of one stubborn high VHF ABC station that comes and goes. Going to give Televes Innova Boss Mix indoor antenna a try to see if it'll give me luck locking my local ABC station in as I see Menards is now selling Televes antennas in store.

[@RickPaquin]

Remember Tylers advice about the location of your antenna. Put a longer cable on it and try it in other areas of your room. I also have a tough VHF antenna and there's only one corner of the room where it works fine.

[@RadioWhiz]

0:54 the company is probably inspired by your videos about antennas. so they know that you're Tyler the antenna man. So they named the company Tyler to thank you for spreading the word of free over the air tv!

[@davidsradioroom9678]

I put this TV down for my birthday.

[@JCWise-sf9ww]

Tyler that was a very nice review of Tyler brand Portable TV sets. When you can't find any TV programs worth watching, you can switch over to FM radio. One obvious nice feature is the fact the Tyler 7" TV set can be mobile and watched most anywhere you take it.

[@jerrycarter7843]

I was curious about that brand looks great. You are very helpful. And thanks on the vid about illegal IP channels too! Never would have found them without you!

[@coreybabcock2023]

Plot twist tyler really makes these TV's LMFAO 😂😂😂😂

[@NEPatriot]

A 7-inch TV with an FM Radio? SWEET! I wonder though if the FM tuner has HD Radio capability? Probably not.

[@AntennaMan]

Unfortunately the FM tuner doesn't have an HD tuner built in.

[@madmax2069]

They should have also had a second USB port to be able to recharge it when the battery dies and you dont have access to a wall outlet, or a cars 12v output.

[@Peersoncasteell]

I love this brand it’s fun to get a big antenna and go outside and DX with this although it looks a little odd

[@RickPaquin]

Odd? Nope, not really...

[@mikemandell132]

Is it just my age, or does Tyler look younger and younger? Dude, keep doing whatever it is you are doing.

[@zcomputermanz4177]

the remote they include is way better now. its an actual tv remote with good buttons. i bought one a few days ago. the tuner is super good. it can pick up stations that are over 40 miles away on the stock antenna, im surrounded by mountains and trees are all around my house.

So if the company Tyler can make Digital portable tvs. Sony can too. Sony can make a portable digital Sony watchman!

[@frankireland2524]

Do you know of any portable TV's that run on user-replaceable batteries like AA, AAA, etc? I live in a hurricane-prone area and would love to be able to change batteries during power outages.

[@RickPaquin]

Most of these portable TVs also run on 12v DC. It should also operate on a power receptacle in your vehicle or using a portable car charger. And, that may provide better longer use of the TV during an outage.

[@PC4USE1]

If our tyler made a Tv,it would answer questions as soon as you turned it on. LOL This Tyler TV is ok,though.

[@marcusdamberger]

This TV has a flaw that it always tunes the secondary SAP/MTS channels audio if present, it doesn't tune in the first primary audio of the main channel by default... It won't remember this choice. It's dead annoying to always have to hit the audio button selection on the tiny membrane remote every time you tune back to a channel that has secondary audio present. I haven't figured out what the solution is to fix this. Other than it's a bug in the software you can't fix.. Some channels this might not be noticeable because they duplicate the same audio on their secondary, but often only in mono and lower audio levels as is typical of SAP/MTS audio. Or it's silent because the channel only passes on network SAP audio, like CBS has present during primetime, but again, single channel mono feed. I wonder if the larger 13" and 16" versions of this TV have the same issue. This TV uses a TN panel that has very limited viewing angles, so that's why it get's off color the further you go to any side, including up or down. They should have gone with an IPS panel for best viewing angles; you would think that is more important with a small TV as viewing angles will be more extreme the smaller the TV get's unless you like to put your head right next to the other person holding the TV. Even a VA panel would have been a huge improvement..

[@jeffreykoerber6595]

I received an identical TV for Christmas, except it is under the Naxa brand. The screen text is the same, the buttons are the same and the inputs are the same, including the recessed antenna input. I found the tuner sensitivity to be poor. I connected it using a push connector like you recommended to the same antenna with the same cables and it got only the strongest channels and doesn’t get other channels that I get with every other TV that I have. I’ll try exchanging the Naxa for the Tyler since that contrasts with your experience; I’m guessing it’s hit or miss with the quality. It looks like it can be used with a tripod shoe for mounting to a camera and you might be able to use it to convert HDMI to composite, in case you would ever need to do that.

[@merky6004]

This small TV would be good item for prepping. I’m thinking of my situation in here SoCal and earthquakes. I’ve been through a few Medium Ones (not The Big One) and the first thing that goes is the power. So getting news and emergency information from local stations is out. Also we have cable and Internet. There goes that as well.

[@JeremyLeePotocki]

I need to get me a portable TV again. I had one a long time ago that I would use when severe weather was happening. On the days that is was predicted to have storms go through I would make sure it was on the charger. It really helped when the power went out, but I can still watch live radar on the news unfortunately phones don't cut it due to cell phone towers can go out too. Well mine broke down after years of service. You letting us know how well the battery charge last was helpful so I'll need to get a nice large battery pack (100~200Wh) for the TV which ever size I get. Last time we had a tornado we ere out of power for 12 hours so it'll be worth the investment. I'm looking to get the 16" personally, but I may also get the 7" too for signal spot checking.

[@anthonys_expired_film]

Great review, Tyler! One thing I remember from one of your older videos is that ATSC 1.0 tuning is meant for stationary televisions. When you move the tv/antenna around, you’ll lose the signal until the tv is stationary again, and will need antenna adjustments. Is that still true? Thanks! Anthony

[@albertfoong3092]

I am interested in 7 inches Tyler tv for signal search on satellite dish. Can the tv works with direct plug in DC if the batteries goes bad?

[@tjp444]

I don't recall you stating the tuner type. I assume these TV's are ATSC1.0? So, they'll likely be obsolete in just a few years. Maybe you should have mentioned this?

[@AntennaMan]

The TVs are ATSC 1.0 and will work for a long time. They are not going to be obsolete anytime soon. We are still in the very very early stages of ATSC 3.0. It's not replacing the current TV standard for at least 10 years. There's even a chance the whole thing might flop. See post below. kzbin.infoUgkxbYLebI9jgKoubRNZKrWO4fcq0e-c041r

if you're going to use an external antenna get a scanner antenna or ham radio antenna with the correct adapters which would be F male to bnc female and then the opposite BNC female to F female I use that set up and it works a hell of a lot better than those aftermarket TV antennas even works really good on my dual band beam antenna that I use as well for amateur radio use
