What kind of Nook do you have because I can watch TV on mine. I have NookHD and I can view TV shows using my Comcast account, HULU and You Tube. I can also access Netflix content using my subscription.

Come on people! Do you think this would be a good backup? I have an IPAD2, an IPHONE5 and bla bla.

But I m wondering if it would be a good backup. I worry about leaving the IPAD2 in the car (my daughter's car was broken into (they broke the windows) to get to her purse (called "Felony Lane Gang") google them!

Anyway, for the price or is it like throwing $ 100 out the window?

I just called my son-in-law who owns his own computer business doing cyber security for the government.

He said not to buy it because you can get a better known pad for just a little more money.

He said that stuff about expanding the info (whatever it's called) that most people never use that because they don't know or want to bother with it. He said he does it but unless you know something about computers you won't use that one.

I'm glad I talked to him because I was going to buy 2 of them. I have a friend who has a birthday next month and was going to give her one. I guess I won't buy that one.

Thanks ladies!!

I would not buy this tablet for an backup pad. This tablet is not like an Apple at all. I suggest you look at an Android tablet the Nexus 7 Generation 2 (2013), and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 8" tablet. I would say check them out on a YouTube review video, and visit your favorite Best Buy.

I like Samsung tablets, because they have an Easy Settings menu.

nutmeg3 that's exactly what my son-in-law said when I called and asked him. Smart people think alike.

Thanks for responding. I appreciate your input. I won't be buying this.

Is the tablet HD compatible? Can I stream HD through it to my big screen TV?

I'm new to tablets. Do you need a virus protection plan, like on a laptop?

Can I buy additional tech support, and square trade warranty?

For a beginner to tablets, don't want to spend a lot. Anybody have advice? Thanks

Last night at midnight, Albany Irvin said to contact herself or Craig Smith, the person presenting the Haier product via their Facebook pages and no answer. SHAME ON YOU QVC!

Seems to me like the Haier Company spreads itself pretty thin. So far we've seen air conditioners and TVs from them. Makes me wonder about the quality. I have one of their TVs. The picture is good but the audio is terrible. Here's what Wikipedia says about them. "Haier Group is a Chinese multinational consumer electronics and home appliances company headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong, China. Its products include air conditioners, mobile phones, computers, microwave ovens, washing machines, refrigerators, and televisions." They were originally a refrigerator company.

The best starter tab would be an Apple, or Kindle Fire HDX, or a Samsung Galaxy Note tab 8" or Samsung Galaxy tab 8".
I suggest you go online and read reviews and watch video at YouTube.

You do not need virus protection with an Apple tablet. You can find a free Virus scanner app from Norton when running an Android.

You need to look at the manual on the product page to see if it will stream HD content.

You know, I always remember one lesson from civics class waaaay back in high school..."you get what you pay for". A price like that one something like a tablet, to me indicates you're going to have nothing but trouble from this sort of purchase. I would not even consider buying something like this.

Re: Haier TSV Question please!

I think it is what it is. I purchased one for a few reasons. One it is for my 5 yr old grandaughter who loves all things purple. It will be a fantastic learning tool for her. With the spills, and drops protection I would normally have to pay extra for I see this as a bonus. Some of us cant or dont want to spend the price of an apple or nexus for a beginning tablet so this is a great price point. Of course you get what you paid for and for that reason I dont expect all the bells and whistles. I also have a computer geek son who works in the industry and while he says it is not one I would want or need or he would use because we are used to bigger and badder he says it is not the worse of the worse on the market and should be good for Maddie to learn on. And the best part is she will have 30 days to try it, play with it etc and if not then back it goes and I have not lost anything. So get it with the thought in mind that you are NOT getting an ipad or a samsung or a nexus but a plain basic tablet.
