Just One Little Hitch On The Akai HD Television.
The good news is that the AKAI line of sleek LCD Televisions that are really moving in stores around the country offer an excellent price value without compromising picture quality and state of the art features. When I brought my set home and installed it in order to function with my Verizon Fios service, I soon found out that the Akai Company does not offer universal remote codes for the current line for some reason that as a consumer I am not privy to.

This may mean that some abilities are limited such as the use of your dvr launched along with all other components by having one universal remote which in our case would be the Verizon. Conceivably, there may come a time where we can only work with the remote issued by our provider, but as of this date I am not at that point.There is no way now besides possibly purchasing an infrared code puller ($100)to control the Akai with a universal remote.

For many obvious reasons including misplacement, nobody wants to get involved with two remotes. I am still recommending AKAI in hopes that one of the corporate players will correct this issue. Jay Adler, Music Critic
Customer Review:
Good TV but Poor Features.
This TV has great picture quality but unfortunately it lacks many features like no signal strength meter to help you in aiming your antenna for receiving OTA HD stations, no QAM tuner for most of us in the 21st century this means that you have to have a set top box in order to receive digital cable, no auto source select this means that you have to keep pressing the source button several times just to switch from one device to the next and this can be a bit of a pain as you can have 6 devices hooked up simultaneously. I would suggest if your going to buy this TV and want to watch OTA HD as well as QAM buy the Samsung DTB-H260F digital hd receiver and you will be quite pleased.
