Tv Tuner

[mr_crust]

i got my indash monitor up and running so i can watch dvd's and can connect my video camera to it so i can film my self driving etc, but i cannot get my tv tuner running properly.

only once i got a very snowy sbs but no other channels can get frequency, the only thing i have connect it some cheap antenna that came with the monitor which connects to it with what looks like a head phone jack.

how can i improve the signal....signal booster, maybe another antenna, connect it some way to the radio antenna...

someone must know how...i just wanna watch tv

also while he's on the topic of tv tuners, what's the go with digital tv? are there digital tv tuners out there?

Sure there are digital set top boxes... you might be able to run an inverter to power a 240v little box from the boot?

As far as the one you have now, I doubt you could easily boost the antenna without chopping that 3.5mm headphone jack. I'd be tempted to go the set-top box... see if there is a 12v model, and then run a y-adapter off your antenna plug. I know that TV antennas need to be designed to handle digital TV, and most pre-digital antennas do actually work... so i'd give it a go with the built-in antenna!
