Just because the power lines within TV are underground, doesn't mean much. The power is generated above ground somewhere. Between there and wherever it goes underground is where you have the problem. Where we live now, all the utilities are underground, but we have a generator and have had to use it a few times. Just last week, the street behind us had power out for about 16-20 hours.
