Product Description

You can watch Freeview TV in the palm of your hand with this 3.5 inch pocket and mobile digital TV and multimedia player (105x75x18 mm and 150g) on its crystal clear TFT screen. You can also play videos, listen to music and view digital photos via the built-in card reader and USB interface.

August DTV350C receives TV signals at up to 70 miles/hour, can be used as a Freeview box to output TV to a larger screen and as a bedside digital radio and digital photo viewer.

It comes with the following accessories: an AC power adaptor/charger, a USB cable for connecting the player to external discs, an aerial adaptor for connecting the TV to a high gain antenna, an AV cable for outputting TV/video to an external screen and a pair earphones.

The built-in battery will work for up to 3 hours while watching TV or playing video and up to 10 hours while listening music. The battery can be charged by the supplied AC adaptor or from a USB port of your computer (cable not supplied). Charging from the AC adaptor will be much faster than from a computer USB port.

August portable TVs have been reviewed by and won a number of awards from various leading magazines including What HiFi, Which ?, Active Home and etc, plus voted a Top 3 Small Screen TV by Channel 4.

Please note the built-in telescopic and/or the included portable antennas may only work in areas where Freeview signal is strong. There may be difficulties in receiving signal with the telescopic and/or portable antenna in some regions at present. This is due to that the Freeview service (see freeview.co.uk website) is yet to operate in fully in the UK. A high gain antenna with signal amplifier may help the TV to receive Freeview in regions where signal is not strong and a rooftop aerial may be required in regions where the signal is insufficient for a portable antenna before the Digital Switchover in your region. The reception will improve along with the progress of the Switchover.

Customer Reviews

Great little TV
I bought this item with the intention of fixing it to a treadmill to provide a distraction whilst racking up the miles. It didn't disappoint...

1. The screen is nice and bright and easy to see (no glare issues) providing a sharp picture on the 3.5" screen. Good stereo sound through the headphones, although the speaker is a little on the weak side.
2. Freeview reception is excellent when fed by a high gain aerial on the roof.
3. Video (AVI) file playback is excellent - I've watched a couple of TV programmes on it with out any problems. The file browser is basic but very easy to use.
4. MP3 playback is very good, although I've not found a shuffle option so far, which would have been a nice function to have.

I've not had much success in picking up any Freeview stations with the telescopic aerial or the small plug in aerial provided, but that's not really a concern for me as I'm using an external feed.

In short, it's a great little TV and media player for the price and if you're clear about what you need it for (for example attaching to a piece of gym equipment) and can plug it into a high gain aerial you won't be disappointed. It falls short of a 5 star rating as the small aerials aren't great at picking up stations, but to be honest I've not seen any Freeview portable TVs that have faired much better so far.

I love it ...
I bought this Freeview TV media player after seeing it on the T3 website and did a search on Google. I did not expect too much but just wanted to find out what this small TV can do. It surprised me with the picture quality and features as a media player. The picture is much clearer than I could imagine when there is signal and the picture for video playback is also very good, it can also slideshow while viewing pictures, very clearly.

As I live in an area where the signal is not very strong, the fixed telescope aerial does not function. It however works in Enfield very well. Another downside is that the built-in speaker is not loud enough in day time if used in a pub although it is about all right if used in my office.

All in all, I love it, especially for the price I have paid.

WORTH LOOKING AT
i have to wait for customers for up too 2-3hrs and saw this tv. nice one,can watch the box,and it`s freeview so that would do nicely. even better was that i could watch avi`s & play mp3`s. picture looks clean & sharp for tv/avi.not used a card yet. the internal & supplied ariel work fine. would like a car charger. other attachments ok. i think it`s a nice little piece of kit. if your stuck somewhere for a long time,car,bus,airport,it`s a good thing in your pocket.
