Watch TV & Stay Informed During a Power Outage

by | Oct 2, 2015 | Security

One quick tech tool that was helpful during Superstorm Sandy was having a USB TV card for a laptop. This device turns your computer into a Television able to take the TV signal from the air with the included antenna giving you the ability to watch TV and stay informed during a storm if the power were to go out.

This is the device that we purchased… Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-955Q

With a laptop acting as a television we were able to watch on battery and charge the laptop in the car during downtime. Just make sure you have a home power outlet in your car, most new cars come with them. As an alternative you can buy a car charger for your laptop as well.

I've been working with law firms for many years simplifying their technologies while offering them the very best services & support. The model that I have created is based on the reality that IT sucks, and frankly, no one likes it. My experience tells me that this is especially true for law firms. In coming to that realization years ago I had to change the way I did business. Among many other services that we had to offer, in order to cater to law firms specifically, we had to become invisible and that's exactly what we have accomplished.
