Bad reception on most portable digital tv's

I just returned a Haier HLT71 7" portable. The tv was built like a tank, just beautiful. It had all the goodies, except a weak digital tuner that wouldn't pick up stations within the city limits of San Antonio. My 19" Magnavox picks up every station around on rabbit ears. What's the differance in these tuners? Do some sets have internal RF Amps on the antennas or what? Anyone know?

Equity needed

The pentagon caused this outrageous gouging market for digital portables and should issue coupons to make them affordable the same way they issued coupons for wired digital sets.

I've been waiting for one of those 2 inchers. I got about 15 years of a little analog job, mostly for watching news and the McLaughlin Report at work. Sadly I left it on a bus one day, but I got my use out of it and it had only a limited life left before digital.
