Freeview TV on the F900?

I'm thinking about this for my next upgrade and whilst it's an easy install I was curious if anyone else has done it and what receiver/antenna they used.

 

There are plently of receivers on ebay that are 12v, cheap ones are single antenna, more expensive are dual diversity. Again a few different antennas to choose from but what are good etc and what to avoid?

 

WIth regards to connecting to the F900, I'm thinking that I will open the unit up and hardwire to the back of the front av input (I have my ipod on the rear). That way I wont have to switch between the 2, although you can't use both at the same time so.... maybe i'll just get 3 2 way phono splitters.

 

Most of the receivers on ebay have remote infrared detectors so thats not a problem and means the receiver can be nicely tucked away and the antenna will either be mounted in the rear screen or the rear side quarterlights.

 

Any opinions, comments welcome.

make sure that what you get will tune in digital signals or it will be useless in a month (in the US)

for that reason the easiest option would be to get a digital converter box

This is for the Uk, so it will be a digital freeview box.
