Mustek DTV-408 - 8.4 inch portable tv/dvd player with built in Freeview, does it have an in-built antenna?

Dear Newsgroup,

Please can you help me find out if this portable DVD player with built-in
Freeview can be used without having to plug in an aerial? Does it have a
built in antenna?

Mustek DTV-408 - 8.4 inch portable tv/dvd player with built in Freeview.

Product info site:
http://www.mustek.de/eng_/html/produkte/dtv408pro.htm - Some technical info
on this page but the PDF file has more.

http://www.mustek.de/eng_/pdf/dtv408pro.pdf - PDF file - has lots of
technical stuff which I don't understand, that might give a clue as to
whether it can work without an external aerial. Perhaps one of you might be
able to tell me this?

Thanks for any help you can give me with this.
Regards.
Robert.

Well I have the 7" version of this player. Pretty good and comes with a
small "omnidirectional" aerial. The thing is, whilst it does its job, it
does'nt pull in a strong enough signal. Its a great unit but needs an
adapter to convert the incredibly small plug the aerial uses to a normal
coax one.

Thanks for the reply and the useful info. Can u watch the main channels
such as BBC, ITV etc? I got Freeview on my home telly and the signal
strength is about 80%, do u think it would probably work okay for me? I
know u can't give me a guarentee, but a guesstimate would be great.

Thanks.
