All these comments about Satellite TV and boosters and so forth are nice, but consider what you might want to do to get at least local TV when the power goes out.
We were without power for almost a week last fall and I hooked up a TV with antenna to an inverter and a car battery to get the local stations, for news and updates and so forth. Hope I can do the same with a TV and the converter.
And does anybody know what to do with those small battery operated TVs with built in antennas that you can’t hook up to a converter?
A television is much more power-hungry than a converter box or booster. If you were able to watch TV on your last power-outage, you should have no problem plugging in the converter box and booster for the next.

Those are essentially junk now. If you want a little portable TV that picks up the new stations, you'll have to buy replace it with something like this.
