I tried the BSSM setting and it does not improve reception. I tried to move the diversity antennas around and it helps. But as soon as I start driving it drifts which is what I expected. That indicates that the signal is weak to begin with. So I may try to use an antenna with a preamplifier. In the installation manual, it mentioned about using pioneer's AN-G3 amplied antenna if the signal is weak.

You will always pay more for Pioneer accessories. Here is similar product for much less.

Man, sorry I couldnt help you out. But honestly I dont think that it is possible to maintain a strong signal while driving all the time. Some areas will be good, others not. But definitely let us know what the antenna kit is like, including the install and the improvement, cuz if it helps a lot, I'll grab one too.

if you are looking to buy an amplified antenna, try this one:

I havent used it, but I have bought from this retailer before and I highly recommend them. They are legit, they show you the installation diagram on their site before you buy, and its cheaper! LOL

Let us know if you do this and the outcome :) Good luck!

I will post the results when I get the new amplified diversity antennas. I am not expecting clear pictures all the time but to reduce the annoying channel drifting in and out would be nice.

I finally received and installed the Pyle PLVWAN6 Powered Diversity TV Antenna to the 5700tv tuner. It does help in receiving weak signals, but the picture still flickers while (hypothetically) driving and much less than with the antennas that came with the unit. Standing still the pictures come in clearer and I can pick up one more NY channel (FOX). I think the flickering will always be there when moving and I am willing to put up with it. So the powered diversity antenna seems to be ok for me.

how was the install? Can an average joe put it in or will I have to take it to a pro? Thanks for the help.

I have it temporarily installed because I am trying to find the best location for the best reception. The antennas require 12 volts and it comes with a cigarette lighter plug connector. The antenna connection just plug into the 5700 unit directly.

Pros are average joes that needed a job.

I assume that you already have the 5700tv installed. It is simply replacing your current antennas with the new ones. You just have to connect the porvided power plug into the cigarette lighter. To give it a cleaner install, you would splice into a power source that is control by the accessories ignition switch.
