Want To Watch Tv Stations On My In Car Dvd Unit

[shaunvlc]

Bought a new in car retractable dvd unit. The thing is awesome, however i would like to watch tv stations on it as dvd's arent worth it as i live in a smallish town, drives are 15 minutes at the most.

I would like to know do i need a receiver to watch news stations etc?

How much are they?

Will the dvd deck i have be able to display tv stations using just the antenna without having to buy a receiver of some sort?

Any help woudl be greatly appreciated

the pioneer ones are about 550 buks or so if u get them from the right place (from memory)

and i would strongly recommend on not watching tv/dvd etc while driving. Ive done this b4 in my 33 and its pretty dangerous so I dont do it anymore

can all dvd units even pick up tv stations?

have to agree with watching tv whilst driving it = dumb

i have never stocked panasonic units before so i am not familiar with them but you will need to check if panasonic make a TV receiver that will interface with the dvd unit and touch screen ( asuming it has touch screen control) if they dont then you will need to buy a stand alone TV receiver that will just output into composite RCA. then youl be able to plug that into the video input on the screen and get the picture that way.the unit will need an external antenna and will have some sort of remote control that comes with it.

some cheapo dvd units will come with a tuner inbuilt but just about all of them will need some sort tunner add on to receive TV stations.
