The compact and portable RCA 3.5" DMT336R Pocket Mobile DTV & ATSC LED TV is a versatile device that lets you watch and listen to shows and broadcasts wherever you go. It's great for traveling, walking around town, commuting, and even taking with you to the ballpark instead of carrying a cumbersome pair of eye-straining binoculars. The handy device is endowed with an ultra-bright, 3.5" LED-backlit LCD display with vibrant, rich colors and a 320 x 240 resolution. Plus, the portable unit is equipped to receive free off-air DTV RF channels, FM radio stations and the ever-expanding list of Mobile DTV or MDTV channels.
This is an exciting time for mobile TV and an MDTV signal has the ability to deliver local, full-motion digital broadcasts to multiple mobile devices, without the need for an additional broadcast spectrum. This platform enables local TV stations to deliver live, digital content to ATSC-capable mobile and video devices including RCA's DMT336R Pocket Mobile TV. It's possible that by the end of the calendar year in 2011, the list of MDTV compatible stations could reach a staggering 126 channels. This fact alone makes the DMT336R a forward-thinking, future-proof mobile TV that will not be out-dated anytime soon.
Other features that make RCA's DMT336R Mobile Pocket TV an attractive and intelligent purchase include its ability to operate on a built-in lithium-polymer battery or an included AC adapter. If your battery is low and you are watching your Mobile TV with the help of the AC adapter, you'll be pleased to know that the battery is charging even as you're enjoying a program. Plus, once you have a full charge you can head out into the streets, take a train, or get on a bus with knowledge that a fully-charged battery has the durability to deliver up to four hours of video playback.
The DMT336R Mobile TV was also designed to fit in with your modern lifestyle. It's very small, ultra-portable, lightweight, and was designed to match the modern aesthetic of all you other twenty-first century gadgetry. For added convenience and comfort, the Mobile TV also includes an easel back stand, which provides a platform for you to rest your device on any flat surface and enjoy TV from a more comfortable viewing angle. The easel back stand also affords hands-free viewing, so you can multi-task while watching the news or enjoying a sitcom. It's also a perfect vessel to watch sports and tune-in to business programs for up-to-the-minute market news.
The DMT336R supports MPEG-2 (MP@ML / MP@HL) video decoding, MPEG-4 AVC and ATSC 18 / H.264 formats. The device also supports Dolby Digital Audio, MPEG-4 HE AAC audio and Digital Multi-Lingual audio. It's equipped with built-in speakers for enjoying premium sound with your video, but it's also outfitted with a stereo-mini headphone jack for privacy. The user-interface is intuitive and affords convenient buttons to navigate on-screen menus. Plus, for enhanced flexibility, the DMT336R supports on-screen program information display, as well as CC Digital Closed Captioning. Other features include: on-screen banner display, direct channel changing, channel hopping, channel editing, real-time signal strength display, auto time setting, auto channel scan, auto power save setting and there's even a favorite channel setting.

Comments about RCA 3.5" DMT336R Pocket Mobile DTV & ATSC LED TV:
I love this TV. It picks up most of the local mobile DTV and regular digital stations using only the built in dipole antenna. I recently took it on a trip to Indy and I was able to watch football and keep track of scores during a cheerleading competition. It is well worth the money.

Super easy to use and a lot more convenient than the 7" digital TVs. Just put it in your pocket and take it anyplace. Beautiful clear picture and the mobile channels are a plus, can't wait to get more in my area. Makes a great emergency TV. I would definitely recommend this, I love mine.

Comments about RCA 3.5" DMT336R Pocket Mobile DTV & ATSC LED TV:
The unit performed well in receiving Mobile Handheld TV transmissions in most cases. There is an issue with audio decoding that sometimes causes a loss of audio after getting into a low signal area. When the signal returns, the Video is fine, but the audio was sometimes absent until the unit was either power cycled or changed to standard ATSC reception mode and then back again.

Comments about RCA 3.5" DMT336R Pocket Mobile DTV & ATSC LED TV:
As a local TV broadcast technician I wanted a small portable receiver to use for monitoring my signal. This receiver fit the bill perfectly. It has a fairly sensitive front end for both Mobile DTV and for over the air ATSC digital TV. The display is bright and sharp and the built in antenna works fine at my home which is approx 20 miles from the cluster of stations I watch. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a pocket sized TV.
