portable 'digital' tv

[DonRSD]

i live in south florida and would like to get a portable 'digital' tv for when the power goes out during a hurricane.

as we all know when the tv broadcasts went digital, older tvs wont work.....including portable tvs.

anyone know where i can buy a 'digital' portable tv from?
any and all help would be appreciated.

you can get a signal, its more for the aftermath if the power is out

The mini-TV was a great help when Ike hit us, and I have been looking for a digital one...

All the ones I have found have seemed like they would be okay except for one thing - very limited battery life. That is pretty much of a deal-breaker for hurricane work.

I got ya!

Yeah, I remember being without power for a week after the 3 that came through Orlando in 2005.

Tv would have been nice! ...AC would have been even better though!

oh yeah. we went 2 weeks without power......i missed the dam world series too (astros/white sox)

AC is the key
since then i have bought a 1200 watt power invertor for the car to run a fridge, tv, laptop etc.....plus now the digital tv.

im hurricane ready......unless my roof comes flying off lol
