Thanks for the welcome and the comments.

AmFearLiathMor,
I have seen the digital portable TVs, including the ones for which you provided links. The main drawback, for me, is the limited battery life. As mentioned in the previous post, I've been spoiled by the simple analog portable TV I've had for many years. The battery life is easily long enough for a week-long (or longer) power outage, and I can keep up on what's going on without even having to change the batteries. But, if I should have to change the batteries, it's a simple matter of inserting a new set of batteries--no STB, no battery with inverter, etc. needed. Obviously, I'll have to adapt, but I don't have to be happy about it.

I'm still wondering if anyone can explain to me why there are no digital TVs with regular batteries, rather than the built-in lithium ion rechargeable battery. Is it a matter of asthetics, so that the TVs are very small and portable? Or does a digital TV require more power so that this is the best option in terms of function?
