Yes, there is a coax connection on the side. A co-worker of mine had one in the office yesterday. It's a sharp little televison.

I have a similar need. I use it to listen to TV sound with headphones at night in bed when my wife is asleep. I used to use a Radio with TV audio band. Now with digital law, that stopped working, and I have not yet been able to find a digital version of the TV radio.

Does the Axion have the capability of connecting a coaxial cable if you don't want to use the antenna?
347641
The Axion has the built in tuner, I think that makes a big difference. With the attached antennae and the extra external one, you should have no problem picking up stations. I find the extra one to be the best, picks up all the stations clearly. I have a bit more trouble with the attached one.

Am I able to use my Verizon cable connection for the Axion 7-inch? How is the sound with added speakers? Is there a better small TV that is a bargain? TIA

I returned the Haier too. The auto scan program would not pick up any of the digital channels in the area using just the external antenna supplied with the unit.

i got the haier and returned it. live is suburbs of ny. this set works great with cable but the tuner is not very sensitive. just would not pick up digetal. maby the axion will do a better job. the analog set i have works ok with a box and antenna on table.

I have had my TV two days. I love everything about it except that it has this memory loss problem. I am somewhat relieved to hear others have the same issue. It means I won't bother to get a replacement. But in fact I see no alternative in the market so will probably just keep this and bear with resetting stations. I think we should all be contacting Haier, however, to assure that they fix this thing in future models

Change channels with either the remote or channel changer on TV, just plug in your earbuds to the headphone jack. It's a no brainer. But, try to get the Digital Prism ATSC-710 7" or the Haier 7" (they are the same TV with simply different brand names...but, made by the same company and are much better than the VIZIO 7")

If you cannot find one on Amazon or a Haier dealer, I do not know. However, it might be simpler to return your haier tv and buy a more reputable brand. my Haier tv stopped working after one week and after three weeks Haier still had not helped me. Not good, I really do not recommend Haier.

When you are looking for which frequency group will work best in your area, it is recommended to go to Shure's website and use their Frequency Finder Tool. (http://www.shure.com/americas/support/tools/wireless-frequency-finder)

Hector: Buying a shortwave radio for informational purposes is second to none! I agree with you that picking up a tiny signal half a world away is fun and challenging. Shortwave offers an incredible variety of programming - much with the local flavor of the country of origin - with the viewpoints from other cultures from around the world. I believe there is a definitive place for shortwave in the coming years, Hector. It used to be said that we all live in a global village. Today, it is said that we live in tumultuous, terror-filled times. 9/11 changed the world and there is no looking back. So when an act of terror occurs, what is the most reliable source of information? AM/FM/TV/Cable/Internet and Satellite communications will be silenced. Shortwave radio will be there, as always. No other form of communications can make that statement. As for the issue of program content and quality, where else can you find a source of varied information 24/7 365 days a year? There are absolutely no restrictions on what you can hear. In addition, during economic depression (such as we are currently experiencing on a worldwide basis) shortwave radio offers an alternative source of entertainment with the most bang for your nearly worthless buck. Hector, I think you hit on something when you said shortwave is changing shape. I don't for a minute believe it is dying; it is undergoing a transformation whose value will undoubtedly re-emerge in the months and years to come.

Both could be right. The radio has a good sound, but its hard to tune to the stations. I live in the country. In a bigger city with more stations to select from, it may be easier to tune in a station. My is in my garage and I never change channels.

The one I have has both AM and FM. To be honest I would recommend that you buy one with multiple bands. If you are using it as a 'spirit box' you'll be surprised at how much you can save an otherwise low-production session by switching bands. If we aren't getting a lot on the FM, I switch to AM and often get multiple-word and multi-syllabic replies.

I did the exact same switched but used the Titan power unit. Even using the same power unit, the Titan gave me less channels than the Winegard. I believe that it is faulty electronics within the unit. The unit uses older electronics technology, but according to my husband it is still good. However, there are coils inside the unit. If one of the coils are a half turn off (either too much or too little) it will throw off the units ability to pick up signals. I do not think you did anything wrong. I have read previous reviews and try all of the suggestions and even did the troubleshooting from Channel Master to no avail. It is just faulty.

If your looking for a great antenna that is optimized for the new digital TV frequencies, check out the HD Stacker antenna at Denny's Antenna Service (http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/hd_stacker_tv_antenna-html.html). This is a much smaller antenna and I found it worked very well for me. Price is $99 (on sale). Good luck!

There are only three stations. One at 88.1, one somewhere towards 97 and, one at 107.9. Depending on the area you are in and the number of radio stations around, one of the three usually works without disruption.

Don't know about the others, this one is very good. Bought it for my aunt who lived far out in the country. She could view stations over 100 miles away. UHF or VHF, I think they're all digital now anyway.

I found sirrius direct is not the same as sirrius/xm ready. a sirrius direct head takes the old sirrius sc11 tuner and in my case, I couldntt get all the stations. or perhaps I had a bad sc11 tuner. anyhow the clarion 505 is sirrius/xm ready and pairs with the new sxv300 sirrus tuner.

Just choose a channel that local radio doesn't use. They are all the same quality.

What Mr. Faine says worked for me. No shut-offs and no interference from local radio stations. It's goofy, so here's a little more detail: Follow the instructions in the review section for this product to put it in International Mode and set preset 1 to the lowest frequency (87.7). Switch the unit back to U.S. mode. Tune your FM radio to 87.7 Press the preset button repeatedly on the unit until it says 107.9. *** the unit will actually broadcast on 87.7, not 107.9. *** it no longer shuts off
