Since I'm a sat sub and have a digital TV, I haven't been paying too
much attention to the converter box program until this AM when I read
a story in the local paper about the conversion to digital TV. In the
Q&A section, this question was asked: "Will the digital switch affect
anything other than my TV". Answer: If you have a portable batter-
operated TV that receives free channels from an antenna, you'll need
to purchase plugs to connect it to a digital-to-analog converter box.
Since special boxes won't be made for this type of TV, you'll also
need an external power source for the box."
Is this true - there are no battery operated converter boxes being
made available to those of us who watch portable TVs during power
failures? If so, it appears to be a major oversight!
