Review by chockyb for August DA701C 7 Inch Freeview TV & Recorder / Analogue TV / Media Player with Built-in Battery, supports Red Button Multi-Screen Teletext

After all the discussion about signal strength in these reviews, I had a few reservations about this product, but in the end decided to chance it and buy one anyway. Not wanting to use the rooftop aerial with it for normal viewing, I bought the SLX Gold digiTop indoor aerial as well. (I live 16 miles from our local transmitter in Hannington).
The box initialised well from the rooftop aerial (as recommended in the instructions). I then disconnected it, and tried it out in a first floor bedroom with various indoor aerials. The results were:
* using the telescopic aerial – nothing
* using the wire aerial supplied – the occasional locked picture, but pretty well unusable
* using the SLX with maximum gain – pretty good, with a clear steady picture. But the SLX needed careful alignment, and also needs a mains supply: yet another little power supply block to plug in and connect.
* I actually got best results from an old traditional design indoor aerial – no power needed. (This aerial looks like a cut down version of a rooftop aerial)
So, if you are prepared to experiment a bit, you may be able to use an indoor aerial with this tv. If it works for you, you will be rewarded with a clear, surprisingly sharp picture and very good sound, if you listen with a good pair of headphones. Playing video clips (avi) and mp3 files also produced excellent results.
All in all, a versatile and good quality product at a very reasonable price. But why, oh why, is the instruction manual so poorly laid out and confusing?!!!

The set i bought is realy good, i love the amount of features that you get with it, very good value for the money.
Only one minor problem though, it could do with having a better aerial supplied with it, the one supplied doesn’t pick up a very good signal, even in a high signal area.
But, i would recommend this product to others.

I have been looking for this type of TV for long time, and this one meets all my requirements. It receives both analogue and freeview TV channels. I can watch freeview TV in perfect quality where I live and still enjoy the analogue TV at the caravan site where the freeview signal is not so good. The built-in battery offers freedom to take the TV anywhere I want, so I won’t miss the nice sunshine and fresh air in the garden. My husband loves it too and we plan to take it with us when we have holiday in Spain.
