Spectra 52-BWR-W 5" Portable B&W Television w/ AM/FM Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When my cable goes out I can still catch my soaps and when breaking news is happening I can watch while my kids are utilizing the other sets.

It is portable, you get access to PBS stations, can listen to radio or watch tv in black and white, 10 "C" batteries and an earphone jack.It is lightweight.

I like the convenient built-in handle since I have used this in various rooms when the cable has gone out or I cannot access one of the televisions in the house. When not in use I roll up the plug to the AC adaptor and store it in the open slot on top, which is the area used for the handle. This is one area that does get dirty easily. The antenna is housed behind this with a slot for it to snap into, plus I always leave it in the down position. It is easy to pull the antenna up with the total measurement of it being 20 inches. I have watched shows with the antenna straight up as well as to the left and right. It basically depends if you are viewing VHF or UHF.

The picture tube is small, five inches, with the knobs at the bottom for selecting radio, tv or off. Then there is the switch for VL, VH, UHF and the radio offering of either AM or FM at the bottom of the same knob. The volume lever is to the right with the earphone jack at the end. The tuning dial is to the right of the picture tube, beside the dial pointer that is a black shade with the red indicating the selection.

I have to check the selection when I switch from CBS to ABC, but NBC is the same dial indicator as CBS. The volume works great and the picture quality is fairly good for being this size. Since we rely on cable for television access we have had many periods when they were upgrading the system locally and when it does not function properly. When this happens I plug in the Spectra? Black and White Portable Television with AM/FM Radio, 52-BWR-WB and can sit at the kitchen table enjoying my favorite show without a glitch.

The back of the Spectra? Black and White Portable Television with AM/FM Radio, 52-BWR-WB has the adaptor plug, an external antenna jack, a battery charge, vertical hold control, brightness control and the contrast control.

The power source selector in the back has three options when using batteries, ext is for AC adaptor or car battery, BATT for internal batteries and Charge for Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries.

Monster Cable SS2RF Monster Standard RF Splitters For CATV Signals 2-Way RF Splitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are one of the "unlucky" that lives in an apartment or dont feel like shelling out the money to have a "DEDICATED" cable line running to each room (from the outside box) then a splitter will be neccassary. Even if you have a dedicated line, you might want to use one for picture in picture. Problem is the more you split, the more signal you lose, and this can degreade picture quality and internet speed. I have five different splits needed, four for TV, and one for internet, and even though my picture was pretty clear, my internet connection was getting lost sometimes, so I decided to upgrade my splitters. The cable company supplied me with ONE 2 way 1GHZ "Regal Splitter" and ONE 3 way 1GHZ "Extreme" Splitter. I decided to upgrade these to the 2 and 3 way Monster Standard 1GHZ splitter. (please stay away from the higher end, 2GHZ Monster Splitters, unless you have Satilite. The Monster Standard 1GHZ is more then suffience for Digital Cable, Basic "Analog" Cable, Internet, and HD TV. When I changed the splitters, I found the picture to be more Crisp w better colors and Detailing, and the HD never looked better. My cable modem has yet to lose its connection and my downloads are faster. Mind you, if you are having lousy reception problems, and you have a cheap splitter, and you change to this, and it doesnt work, chances are its the outside line, so have that checked first, before you drop the money on splitters. The simple call to the cable company (some charge a small fee) could be all you need. But if you are like me, and already have a decent picture, but with minor picture flaws, or lose you internet connection, try upgrading to these, as always Monster delivers, and their "Standard" products are all you need, even if its cables, they are more then sufficent
