FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Open chat Topic: Question about Analog TV

Author    Post   andi03 F L I N T O I D Um......this may be a really stupid question, dunno. When the signals switch to digital in Feb. I am *assuming* that the digital converter boxes won't work at all when the power is out, due to the fact that they'll either plug into the wall and or power up from the tellie? Or are they still gonna send "free" air waves to my house, somehow? Argh. _________________ Build a bridge and get over it!

If you're talking about using a battery powered TV, you could get an inverter, connect it to a car battery & run the digital converter that way. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun. When a lion wants to go somewhere, he doesn’t worry about how many hyenas are in the way. Paddle faster, I hear banjos.
