Hi,
One thing some fancy laptop computers come with TV tuner.
And for others, the USB tuner dongles are $100.


Uh, how would that work with NO electricity which is why I asked?


On your charged-up laptop, which will run about as long as alkalines in
a battery TV. If you have gas in the car to keep that battery running,
you can sit in the car and watch. I've done that a few times, now I just
try to sleep through the outage, or if it is several days, find the
nearest hotel with power and room.


News Alert==I don't have nor never mentioned having a laptop

someone ELSE mentioned having a laptop.
