I think it depends where you live......where I live, TV reception sucks, just white snow.....not even worth the extra money...

Espn--no Way, Not Without Satelite. Just A Small Fee Of $2300 For The Dish(roof Rack Mounted) And ~$60 A Month For Programing.. The Regular Tv Tuners Get Two Local Channels Plus About As Many Mexican Stations( San Diego!). The Reception Can Be Very Good Depending On Location...but If Your Thinking About Actually Watching Tv While Driving---forget About It...reception Can Not Carry At All...picture(if Any) Continuosly Flickers And Gets Unrecognizably Scrambled... Sorry I Wish It Would Work...even If Its Just A Couple Channels!

I dont understand this concept. I have a $60 Casio handheld TV from best buy and it plays fine in the car while I am driving. I don't know why a TV turner can do the same.

From my experience with 2 TV HU's in my eclipse and in my G....all I can say is the quality of reception drops in heavily dense area's such as nyc. When I go on a round trip to PA; I get a crystal clear reception.. oh and btw... my boy has that dish setup on his escalade.....It also sux when u are in densely populated areas... but also has a great reception when we go for a ride out to Long Island.
