reception bites ballz. you get one or two fuzzy uhf channels and maybe couple of very fuzzy main channels. Not worth it, imo.

Yea, i haven't had much luck with it either but where I lived at the time you couldn't get it in the hose either. You could try it.

I have Cable TV reception in my car but it's rather expensive and unorthodoxed.. but it's excellent quality and i get every cable channel I subscribe to at home.. It's like i'm sitting at home surfing the tube..

All you need is a CarPC, DV-DO router, DV-DO wireless broadband service and a Sling Box

I can stream my local cable stations to my car anywhere in the country/world they have DV-DO coverage..

I have a clarion unit in my car and in town the channels dont come in that well but on the highway away from everything its pretty good. I use it to watch football and other sports after leaving a game, or to keep my gf from having to talk to me on road trips.
