There is nothing you can do with the old TV without electricity anyway, Get you some batteries and a good radio. If your little battery operate tv is not digital it won't work either.

Buy one of the converter boxes at Radio Shack.

Probably better get a radio or weather radio.

Public Radio is actually very good.

Play cards or talk with people. There's a lot more to life than electronic entertainment.
