What a novel idea; a battery-powered DTV converter box. I believe this is the first of it’s kind and I’m thankfully Winegard has developed the little bugger. With analog broadcasts going black on February 17, a lot of folks backup TVs are not going to work without a DTV box. The details are still a little grey on the converter itself, but it seems like there is going to be an option $14.99 battery pack that plugs into a standalone unit which is good ‘nough for us. No word on when this guy is gong to be available but we hope soon.

Look for the Artek T3A converter. It works with a 12 volt battery connected to it. 12 volt batteries are easy to find, and if you connect the right size barrel connector to the battery leads, you can run the converter for a long time with a good size battery.
