My step dad has Serious, and I only heard it once,b tu was less than
impressed with the signal.  We were around houses and a restaurant when he
was using it.  I wonder when they will come out with a pocket sized TV
that will handle digital.  My grandfather had a small TV that was a watch
man TV he got in 1984.  It was one nice unit, and I got to use it when I
went to a college prep program with no TV available for my room other then
this one, and I have to say the DX catches I got on  there were great.
	I don't know what happened to this set, but with rebanding of UHF
they've got to have something out soon.
