Does anyone make a vehicle antenna that will work with the digital signal in 09?

 

The only digital one out there is the KVH TracVision.

 

Yikes! $3000 is a bit much for TV....guess I will stick to DVDs for now.

 

how about backseat tv from sirius....has anyone else looked into this???

the antenna and converter is $399....the monitor is....as much $$$$ as you want. the subsription is something like from $4-12 per month depending on what plan you are on and how many radios you have on your account.

its a sat signal, now only three channels nick, cartoon net, and disney...called and they said more are to come...they claim that the backseat tv will do both radio and tv signals....and do both at the same time...tv signal to monitor and sat radio to the head unit...all on one subscription....bad deal is i got lifetime subscription on my factory head unit and they will not let me add the backseat to it....and then they will not let me transfer my lifetime on head to the backseat tv...

anyone installed or used it yet???

 

I think he is talking about on air digital. There are supposed to be about 50 channels available in my area with just a pair of digital rabbit ears.

 

i understood what he was asking...but the reply was $3k....i was asking about him looking into possiblity of sat tv...or if anyone else has....its alot less than digi tv and would guess better picture coast to coast, not just in one market

 

Kenwood is supposed to have one by the end of the year. I just hope it will be compatible with my DNX7100. Check this out.

A "digital" tv signal is simply a UHF signal. All you need is a UHF antenna to pick it up. Add a digital to analog converter box and you now have an OTA digital setup.

any news on this digital tv product yet?

I was also wondering if I could hook up some sort of converter to my existing analog tv tuner that's already hooked up to my kenwood dnx7100 and receive the digital broadcast after the switch in february?

 

Read the post above yours

 

Look, I havent seen the Dig. Converter hit the streets yet.

But you could always just run a home box.....

 

A gov't coupon for $40 on a cheapo $50 converter means you are out $10 plus a cheap inverter t0 make the 120 on the box work means DTV on the relative cheap. The first estimates of the digital ant were around $300, big different to me when we have all of that spare room in the dash for extra junk. Kind of ghetto but it will work, won't it?
