Hey m8, I've been looking at this sort of stuff, especially the TV / DVD shananigans. I've even seen digital receivers on eBay, which sound really great in principle.

Does anyone know if the TV will work whilst you're on the move? What I'm wondering about is the broadcast reception. You only have to think how faffy you have to be with a satalite dish or aeriel at home to make you wonder how it would work in a car!

with the digital box it will get a good signal up to 200kmh and you get e4 and itv2 and all the free view channels as for watching it whilst driving it can be done (but is illegal)if you earth the wire out thats meant to be placed on the handbrake

Mmmmmmmm 200kmh!

[da SLUG man]

can't imagine why you'd want to watch TV whilst driving!... but it would be handy for keeping kids quiet etc.

For that sort of money it might be worth looking at these:

They were around the same price, but run windows XP, and did all pioneer did, plus you can load on better sat nav software, and all your CD collection etc.
