jsdeprey Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I have the original Pioneer antennas, and they work fine, while not moving, but I have never seen any car antennas work to well while moving around. I really like the TV tuner though I use it move than the DVD changer that cost me $1000 dollars! Great for time you find your self having to sit and wait in the car for something. I am sure any TV antenna will work ok while sitting still, I guess. Sorry I cant be more help than that. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rapayn1 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 A good low profile boomerang antenna might be better than the diversity antennas. However, sitting still always works better than moving. :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
recorcholis1097 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 thanks for ur help im thinking about buying the boomerang antenna but will it look good on a mitsubishi eclipse spyder 98??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rapayn1 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 That I do not know. Probably not. Sorry. :( For me it would be a Suzuki Grand Vitara SUV. It seems like it would look pretty good considering that the low profile one would be right at about the roof rack bar level. So, from street level it would not even really be noticeable.

smokenjet Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 They do have low profile antennas, they are basically just the boomer rang part. looks liek someone just left a real boomerrang on you car. I have one but it is slightly elevated and I love it. I live in West Palm and i pick up all the channles here and some out of miami. You can find them as cheap as $70 with an amplifier. I paid $65 for mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TeckBargins Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 you can get a portable satellite one... they are very cool but still kinda big and expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokenjet Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I wish they could make the sat. anteenas I put on the jets more affordable for us. They are about 8" round and sit up about 5" from the fuselage and are unidirectional so they keep the signal at all times. $15,000 just for the antenna i think i will keep my boomerang instead. Oh here is a link to a bunch of NEW different styles of boomerangs. [url]http://www.trucknvans.com/Wintenna_s_Boomerang_Antenna_s/755.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GnatGoSplat Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Sony had some nice ones for their tuners that attach to the windshield and are a clear film. When on the glass they resemble a defroster grid. I don't know where you can get those by themselves though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
