Mobile T.V. Options

Ok, so I have a kendwood double din and I have been looking at installing an antenna to pick up the free over the air channels. There are a couple kits on ebay, but not sure which way to go. Has anyone done this? If so, what has your experience been. Also wondering if the signal will come in at highway speeds. It will mostly be used for the kids during road trips, and the occasional football game.

Most of the new digital tv signals don't nearly have the range of the old analog signals. If you're hoping to pick these up while driving a highway out in the country you'll be disappointed.

I would do something different. If your radio has video in then, just stream live TV from a tablet or phone to your radio.

If you have an android device download XBMC and install SportDevil video plugin...

Radio waves travel at the speed of light so unless your truck can travel faster than 186,000 miles per second, I think you'll be just fine..
I would suggest you research analog vs digital signals and choose your antenna based on that..
