[opendtv] Re: News: DTV Converter Box announcements

Right, just not as convenient as flipping a switch on a battery operated TV set. I've done some searching and there doesn't seem to be a lot of portable ATSC receivers floating around either at this time. It would be nice if the $40 vouchers could be used to offset the cost this type of product in addition to the converter.

With all that has been written about my initial posting about not
having any battery operated ATSC converter boxes, my principle
concern has been missed - that is when local residents have to spend
4-6 days (or more) without power after a storm has passed through an
area. It is this period when OTA is certainly a good friend and
source of contact with the outside world.


In Africa we get our own generators or daisy chain a few marine
batteries to an inverter circuit, because you can't rely on the
government for handouts. These converters have power plugs, right?
Where's the problem?
