Tv is not a babysitter
933357
This guy is #uc!^g nuts! Ok here is the problem some lazy parents use tv as a babysitter. If you let your children watch a show and don't talk about it with them then what they do is your fault not the shows. That being said how do you have a plot with no conflict? You can't have the rangers in vite the monsters over for tea and cookies that would be really boaring. Implied sexual inuendo? I haven't seen that when I watched. Tommy and kimberly were dateing and that was about it.

As others have pointed out, there is no DC adapter for use in a car, but that is not something I needed.  I love the TV. It has a nice picture and sound. It picks up weak signals and it's fun to use. The battery lasts a long time on one charge.

Modern TVs are too complicated for the older generation.  Our grandson installed it; we wish he lived closer so he could help when various screens show up that we don't know how to respond.  We have to wait until they disappear.

Keeps me at the television set - definitely not getting to the 'to do' list while this is going.  Love it!

This is not a sufficient replacement for a smart tv! The product does not support a lot of the smart TV apps and does not have a easy method for backloading software. So, what you see is what you get. Operating their native apps is a pain and tends to lag or buffer repeatedly. But, you get what you pay for. This might as well be a youtube, netflix, and internet browser box. Everything else is difficult to use and time consuming to set up if you are not very tech savvy.

We have a good quality HD TV that is not a smartTV.  This was a great alternative to the expenditure of replacing the set.  it was extremely easy to get set up and running.

This thing works great for watching TV in bed when the wife is asleep.  Most new TV's don't have an earphone jack, but they do have optical out, so this is a way to watch TV with headphones on.

What I don't like is that I have to get out of bed to turn it off, or the light stays on all night.  Kind of annoying.

I never tried using two sets of headphones at once, so I don't know if that works or not.

Don't be surprised if you suddenly have no TV. And if this thing they call an antenna is worth the money: it's not.  Mine just stopped working in the middle of a movie. For NO reason.  POS...

They did a nice job of mounting the TV, but claimed the additional services (concealing cords, plugging things in, etc.) were not part of the subcontracted Services.

It's not Shakespeare, but it's entertaining (more so than many new shows).

Though title indicates this book is about fundamentals of Digital TV, it is for people who have prior knowledge of TV. This book is not beginners.

The TV itself is great.  The remote isn't super easy to use, but this review is for the TV - not the remote :-)

Ok. It is not very dependable. Must be right in front of TV to work. Does strange things on its own.

Years ago my father complained about a television program that he thought was obscene (politically rather than sexually).  "This shouldn't be allowed on the air!" he said as he watched the program week after week.  I replied that if he quit watching it, then its ratings would drop, and it would be taken off the air.  If people don't buy a product, it will shortly go out of business.  My father walked out of the room in a huff.  Two weeks later the program was taken off the air due to poor ratings.  Social action starts in the home.

Wildmon has broadened the issue of pornography out into the media at large, not emphasizing merely the pornographic aspects, but the general emphasis and impact of media upon our lives.  Indeed, television is not one of the primary socializers of American culture, molding its values and social mores.

Wildmon examines television's anti-Christian bias and stereotyping, violence, push for humanistic values, sexual view of sex and homosexuality, and urges Christians to take action.  His call for action, however, is not for more government regulation, although it should enforce its own laws against obscenity.  Christians must regulate their own media consumption and encourage others to do likewise.  And they must make their views known to television sponsors and producers.  This is a common sense approach.

Not really impressed. Very annoying if you have a TV that will change to a newly detected source. This thing goes up and down all day, and you will find yourself reach for the remote to change the TV back to the source you were watching before switched.

Philips Magnavox PR1903C is a simple television set designed for the technologically apathetic. It has very few features and very few of the mechanical and technological updates one would expect in a modern television.

This television set offers the usual minimum features a consumer expects to find in any television- like adjustments for color, brightness, etc.- along with a few extras, like a language control that allows the consumer to switch from English to Spanish to French, sleep timer, and close captioning. Most all features have to be accessed from the remote control- the front of the television offers no such options- not even to access the menu. Also, there is only one input jack on the back of the television, placing severe limits on accessory compatibility.

If there is one redeeming factor for this television set, it is the quality of the picture.

This surprised me at first, because the overall quality of most everything else is below average, leading me to believe that the picture quality would follow suit. But the picture is actually quite good on Philips Magnavox PR1903C. The sharpness is very good and I cannot detect any small lines or other problems with the viewing. In this regard, the television set deserves commendation. I can't really find anything wrong with the picture quality for this type of set.

Going back to the negative points, I have noticed that this television set is prone to wear out a little faster than others. One sign of wear that is easily noticeable is the button on the front of the screen, to access the power. This button is a large, round button that is plastic in construction and is enclosed inside a round space. When pressing the button in, it is supposed to snap solidly in place but instead it rattles back and forth a little, making me worry that it is going to pop off. Of course, the way it is situated inside the round space, it cannot come out (as far as I know). But the looseness is obvious and it is a little surprising. With the limited amount of times the power button on the front of the television set is used (it is usually powered on/off with the remote control), I wouldn't expect it to wear out so quickly.

Overall, Philips Magnavox PR1903C is an unacceptable television set for the many reasons listed above. I like the sleep timer and the picture quality is certainly very good, but the strikes against this television are numerous. There are too many bad points to make it worthy of a recommendation.

Well, no one has broken in since I got it, but that may be coiincidence. It does look so much like someone watching action T.V. from outside. I have it hooked up to a rotary wall timer to come on in the evening and turn off mid morning like someone staying up late to watch TV. Which is funny because I don't watch TV! Seems it would use much less power than if I ran the DVD player on the actual TV. I think to make the scene more realistic, one would have to set up another timer with a lamp on it to occasionally turn on/off as if someone were getting up to look for something or get ready for bed.
