Battery/Antenna TV

Thx for all the info on our cable TVs. But what happens to my emergency TV. Battery powered, antenna only, local stations only TV? Will it get anything after February? It was useful when electricity and cable were out during hurricanes. It currently resides in an RV and picks up a couple of stations in trips to the Everglades, and plenty in Orlando.

Good Question- After February 19, 2009 your present battery powered TV will be pretty useless. Some people have told me that they have purchased one of the government sponsored Digital Converters which is great except you have to have electricity to power the converter.

Suggestion-wait unit 2009 and try to get a new battery powered TV set with a built in digital tuner. The prices might be a little better then. Yes you can probably find one now someplace.
