I saw an article which mentioned an option for you. "... Some Wilmington residents, who are used to being in the path of hurricanes, worried that their battery-powered TV sets, which provide alerts when the power goes out, would not work because converter boxes need electricity. So consumer groups worked with manufacturers to create a battery-powered converter, Martin said."

When we're having a hurricane and the power is off, its good to see the weather maps, etc. that can be seen on the commercial, on-the-air VHF channels using the battery-operated TV. It runs on 12 volts and will operate for quite a while on a car battery. I suspect not. I suspect I will need either a battery-operated digital-to-analog converter box, or a battery-operated digital TV.
