When I get my Z I will be purchasing a In-Z PC right off-hand. Anyway, I want to hook up a tv tuner to the lcd screen. My question is where should I put the tv tuner antenna? Is there anything a little less inconspicuous than a big gawdy white v-shaped antenna on the top of the Z? Any ideas of where to mount it and what antenna to get would be greatly appreciated.

Do you live in a big city or rural? If you aren't right in a city with TV stations your reception probably won't be very good. Mine really sucks and I have a dual boosted antenna.
I didn't want them on the outside either so I mounted them inside the car. One is stuck just in front of the third brakelight inside on the front part of the hatch. The other is buried back behind the spare tire under the carpet.
I know I might get a bit better reception if I had them outside I but refuse to make my Z look like and RV!

Thanks for the info Dr Bonz! I live in a town of about 20k people, and it's pretty close to a town that has ~60k people. I don't expect all channels to come through, but just some like CNN or Fox News or something major like that. But, I guess i'll get it anyway, expect the worst but hope for the best. Thanks again for the link and i'll read up on that.

http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/webtv.htm This lists the VHF stations, but i'm not sure if these are the only one's. Oh well, I guess i'll have to see once I get it.
Edit: http://www.antennasdirect.com/VHF%20...20listings.htm That also lists some towards the bottom. So I will probably get about 7 channels, oh well, better than none!

I was hoping I would actually get a few more stations my self. I have yet to watch it more than 2 minutes, seriously b/c the stations don't come in that well. It's still cool to have but I think my expectations were a lot greater than the end result. Hopefully you will get more stations than I do.
