Since the channels went digital, I haven't really any Pioneer TV Tuner modules out there.
Something like the below linked product would probably be your best bet to get DTV onto our AVIC units.
the easest and cheapest way to get TV is to just get a digital converter box(i've even seen a couple that use 12v, so all you would have to do is cut on the ac/dc adapter), and run it into one of the AV inputs
The standard digital box will work when your standing still, but will be a disaster when moving, because of the way the new DTV signals are set.
There is a special format they created for mibile devices which you will need to watch while moving.
You need to find a tuner that is compatible with ATSC M/H.

You need to find a tuner that is compatible with ATSC M/H.
Any specific model suggestions? I have the Nitro digital TV tuner installed now, which as you said, works OK when parked, but I'd sure like to have a unit that works while driving.
As far as I know, TV signals were not meant to be received in a moving vehicle whether analog or digital. The only other option would be to put a satellite dish on your car to watch TV while driving.
I have a PERFORMANCE TEKNIQUE ICBM-DGT Digital TV Tuner and it gets great reception while staying still, but once you start moving it gets choppy and cuts out at higher speeds.
The atsc m/h tuners definitly work while moving. and they work pretty well.
what I DID find out, accidentally, is that TV stations need to specifically boradcast in M/H so it turns out in Chicago, I can only get 2 channels. I guess 2 is better than 1 and I'm assuming eventually more stations will have it.
There's a website that lists what channels broadcast in ATSC M/H. I don't remember what it is, but a quick google search shoudl find it.
And there's a number of ATSC M/H receivers on ebay.
Yea, I found that list too, but I can't locate it now. Only NBC is broadcasting in Dallas currently.
I'll probably get the Boyo VT-MH unit (available from Crutchfield and elsewhere online), but I'm gonna wait until at least a couple more channels are broadcasting. This is the same format being used for mobile devices like smartphones & laptops with no TV tuner, so I'm sure more and more stations will jump onboard. I hear more than 20 markets should be up and running by the end of 2011.
Here's the link to current ATSC-MH channels:

It looks like it's constantly being updated. Good Info.
