On the AV select screen I see a shaded out selection for TV, what is required to get this to work? It's football season, and I spend a lot of time in the car on the weekends.

There's a TV tuner for the Z series, I don't remember the part number off the top of my head.

 

Doesn't work now that they've done the digital switch anyway. Unless you get a converter box but do you really want to buy two pieces of (probably hard to find) hardware to watch TV in your car?

You can run a digital converter through the A/V channel on the unit. I bought one a while back after the conversion for $100. Be warned; digital video only works when completely still. If you move at all the picture is lost.

Sounds like a big waste of money if you have to be sitting still.

One might think...but there are plenty of times when out running errands with the wife I'd just rather sit in the car :D
