Here are some good reviews for the Haier HLT71:

M. Garcia – Amazon.com

Great little TV. The item I received differed from the one pictured, it was rubberized black and had better controls. I comes with a removable battery pack, 12v and AC adapters and a stick antenna.

We use it for keeping up with college football games while watching our daughters travel softball team.

The TV decodes everything. ATSC (over the air digital TV), NTSC (analog TV), regular cable TV AND even non-encrypted QAM cable TV (that was a huge plus for me).

I tried a Radio Shack 7″ that looks a lot like the Amazon picture of the Haier above; but this TV is MUCH MUCH better. The antennas with these TV’s are crap, get the silver sensor sold on Amazon and you will be amazed the channels you can pull in with this TV.

Good Luck.

Excellent! My HLT71 also came with the black mar-resistant case.

Wow, what a great little TV! Not using the included antenna, but using another single retractable rod antenna – with a long cable attached, I was able, by moving the antenna away from the TV, to tune-in everything that my 27″ Digital Sony can. Actually, even more analogue stations than the Sony.

Nothing in the advertising says this TV produces High Definition viewing. While it does pick-up HDTV stations, image quality is restricted by the LED television screen. But that image is really nice and sharp – almost HD.

Also, I can hardly believe that the included little lightweight lithium ion battery can be so powerful. It way out performs NmHd batteries. And the light weight AC adapter, and even the included lighter weight automobile adapter, they are of finest quality – like the TV itself.

It seems very odd that since this is the best 7″ digital TV that I have ever seen that it is also the lowest in price. I got mine for $117.99 including free S&H.

Knowing that my current little portable TV used for emergencies will “expire” in February 2009 – I ordered one of these because they are set up for the new digital broadcasts. The first one I received didn’t pick up any channels and had no sound. I figured it had to be a damaged unit, so returned it to Amazon for a replacement and the second one is working fine. Picks up most of my local channels -Some with amazing clarity and others fuzzy, but I live out in the country, so I’m okay with that since it’s really just for emergencies. I’m amazed at the technology, seeing such a sharp, full color picture on that little screen. I’ve read from other reviews that the battery lasts about 2 hours, but hopefully that willll get us through a storm. Comes with AC cord, detachable antenna, triple video input cable, car plug-in, remote control (including batteries) and rechargeable internal battery. Note, internal battery MUST be installed before it will come on. It’s got one of those tiny plug-ins like cordless phones, so make sure it’s connected. Overall, I would recommend it.
