As of this time, I have not been able to find a solution for handheld or mobile television owners.

The FCC has mandated that only digital signals are broadcasted, even during hurricanes. I find this kind of surprising, given the fact that there are a lot of people that depend on their handheld television sets for news and updates during a hurricane.

Here's a link to FCC comments about digital television and their choice not to broadcast analog signals during an emergency or bad storms: http://www.tvconversionhelp.com/2008/08/20/startling-fcc-dtv-hurricane-plan-for-handheld-tv-owners/

There are DTV portable TVs out currently, however at reported prices of $200 for a 7 inch LCD and no guarantee on battery life at radio shack.

However almost every reviewer gave it bad grades in that you need some sort of external rabbit ears to watch TV

I thought the same thing as I have a small portable TV I use outside. I'm sure somebody will design something to solve this problem, it's just a matter of how much will it cost.
