Anyone have a TV tuner hooked to their D3. If so; what brand and how is the picture quality?

I would LOVE to know this one!

It will depend on the quality of the TV tuner and the signal quality you will get. Don't forget you have less than 12 months to enjoy that analog TV tuner. Feb 2009 the switch gets turned off.

cant wait till pioneer comes out with a dtv tuner!

If you're really itching for the ultimate tv tuner, check out this link I found today: http://www.kvh.com/products/Product.asp?id=125

VERY cool, and it has an option for mobile internet.

lol... I don't even wanna know how much that costs... not to mention the god awful giant frisbee on the roof!

It says at the bottom that the MSRP is ONLY $2,995.00!!!

That's not even including the monthly service

Monthly service is like $49.95 or something like that. I know you can get Direct TV for $10/month if you already have it at home.

There's no frisbe on the roof, either. It's a window or roof mount antenna similar to the old 80's cellular one.

Are you kidding me? Did you even look? It's like a damn trash can lid!

Read my post again. I was referring to the DishTV model. The one you are looking at is the MSNtv model.

where you hear about the dish one?

website etc.........

I'll have to go back and find it... it was a difficult find before. In the mean time, here's a Youtube about the other unit, mentioning the price of $10/month:

The cellular type antenna is for the internet/MSN. For Satellite TV you need the big round saucer on your roof. I know this, I was going to buy it, but my truck wouldn't fit in the garage once the dish was installed. The per month charges vary, depending if you already have Direct TV at home or not. If the XM Sirius merger ever goes through, Sirius will have double the bandwith and roll out more channels to add to the 3 kids channels they offer now with their back seat TV system.

ah, that makes sense. I'm fairly certain that they will come out with a smaller unit in the near future. The video says that they expect this to be in a LOT of cars within the next ten years. As everything else, the price will have to come down.

I'd still consider buying it, though. Even today.

Little off topic, but I just installed a d-link wireless router in my Excursion that uses an air card (like you would use in a laptop) to connect to the net. Now my kids can access the internet from a laptop or IPOD touch at the same time without fighting. I love technology.

No there's a good idea!

Me too, I am gonna rig an external cellular antenna and WiFi antenna soon... greatest stuff ever!

Aircard antenna (need to get an adapter for your model)

External Wifi antenna (requires NMO base and cable adapter)

It appears that on the road, pulling a 2 car enclosed trailer, friends can't access the signal from my KR-1 router.
