I originally wrote this piece for my other blog, Cache Free TV. Frugal people, for the most part, are aware of the need to be prepared for the unexpected, and being prepared for minor and major disasters will allow you to sail through with minimal disturbance to your life and assets. Therefore, I have decided to duplicate that post here.
I was recently asked this question, so I set about doing some research about what options are available if you need a TV for use on a power outage.
A: Do you mean, an old analog portable - battery operated - TV? The short answer, in most cases, is NO.
However, do have a number of options that will get you TV in an emergency, even when nobody else has power or TV. You can even get that old analog TV to work if you have time (and money) on your hands.
