yeah after a power outage of about 10 days one winter storm i was given a portable battery powered tv, and while it is tiny, it is still nice to have. can hook it up in the car too if necessary :-). its a color casio i think. reception is pretty good for being so small, but it doesnt work for crap while driving :-).
