portable DTV's

[Al Tobia]

Anyone get a decent DTV portable TV yet ? I was going to look at the INSIGNIA from Best Buy.
I'd like one that picks up both old analog and DTV,I believe there are a number that do this.

My concern is . . . do any allow you to tune individually ,TV channels ,as well as scan or do they all just scan ?
I want one that "tunes" also.

The ones I've seen just scan, but some may allow for manual entry.

You might also review this thread from a few weeks back, in which we discussed some of the pluses and minuses (mostly minuses) of these units:

These things are clearly not designed with DXing, or any weak signal work, in mind.

I left comments about my new Axion portable 7-inch TV on the other thread, but didn't mention anything about the scanning. Al2, you can scan and add channels without destroying your station list, so it's good for areas where signals come from several directions. It has a channel selector where you can go up or down the channels, or, using the remote, you can punch in a channel number to jump to another part of the band.
