Any chance someone will make a portable TV with a longer battery life? I moved into a new neighborhood last year, and discovered there are a fair number of power outages (problem from the large old trees, I suppose). Last yr I used my old analog battery op TV. Most of the new smaller TVs I've seen have built-in rechargeable batteries that are good for about 2.5 hr. From previous experience, these outages seems to last around 4 hr, so I'd prefer to find a TV with a longer life battery or one that takes replaceable batteries.

My old portable takes D batteries, so I can at least stock up on them. My alternative is to get a Winegard converter with a battery pack, but at this point I might as well put the money into a newer TV. I have cable, so only really need a converter for outages or outside ... or if I get mad at Comcast .
