TV Antenna

**ukchris** · 07-10-2005, 09:06 AM

Will an antenna from the UK like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...985908522&rd=1 work ok in the US? Is this reasonable for car use? I figure they are so cheap it is worth a try and can have it carried to the US in a week or so.

TV in the car isn't a big deal for me, it'd be fun to play with though.

The million dollar question - can you pick up TV while you're moving and/or the engine is running?

The million dollar answer. In Germany we have Digital Terrestial TV now and that work like a charm up to 200km/h (125mph). I have serious problems with Analog Terrestial TV though. Dunno If people have a solution for that

So not promising for broadcast TV here in the US...

damn you! Actually, we have a fair amount of digital TV here as well. About 75% of our OTA broadcasters are also feeding digital in my area. Maybe I'll get a digital tv card, then...

well so far I only used my stationary DVB-T reciever from my house since that monkey Tawainese seller from eBay sent me an analog reciever instead of a digital one

Waiting to hear back from him
