1. the DVB-T reception is not fantastic on the move, but better than pinnacle one i used previously. both ran on external magnetic mounted antennae.
2. the DAB is quite decent while on the move.
3. neither the DVB/DAB does encrypted channels.
4. HD DVB-T reception is a serious CPU hog. I can't get consistent output on a mobile 1.66GHz C2D.

can't test the DMB as we don't have it in singapore, yet.

Thanks!

Guess you are refering to the Piranha-model since you are mentioning DAB? Are you refering to on the move in a car? Did you mount the external magnetic antenna inside or outside the car?

What's most important for me on the move is the DAB-reception, as watching tv on the move while driving a car is not what you should do!
