Doghouse Electronics' RoverTV

There are a lot of PVPs out there that seem more like MP3 players with the added bonus of video playback. Well doghouse electronics' has decided to focus more on the PVP end and make a beautiful widescreen video player. While the RoverTV screen takes up most of the player (4.1") it is not touch screen like you may have guessed, in fact the buttons are located on the side. Another downside is the player does not come with any internal memory, but the player does include a 2GB SD card.

While the device was designed primarily just for video it also features music playback, photo and eBook viewing, voice recording and radio to name a few.


All in all, the RoverTV is a decent device with a nice wide screen, but performance is far from outstanding. You can only hold a max of 2GB on an external memory card, battery life is only around 6 hours and touch screen controls would help immensely. Sounds to me like this company is headed straight for the doghouse
