TV tuner

[Red8v]

Hi All

Looking for a quick answer i've just bought a JVC AVX1 head unit and am using the cd changer input for a JVC ipod adapter. I was interested in installing a tv tuner and have seen one going cheap on ebay but it looks like it will connect through the same input as the ipod adapter. Does anyone know if there are other connection options for TV tuners?

Thanks

usually they just run into the AV input connections and are controlled via a remote eye on the dash.

digital tuners are slightly better than the terestrial ones, but still loose signal once you move. useless while driving. There are some very expensive ones that claim to keep the signal on the move, but they're like £400!

Thanks for that Dizzie, shall I not bother and just save my money then? Never seen one working in a car as i've only ever seen factory fit which turn off whilst on the move. Is the picture watchable at all? Seen some website's that say it's good with amplified aerial's and finally does it need to retune as you move around?

Hi 1lp i got mine from ebay, only paid £30 quid for it, think he put the wrong price This is the person I got it off good service and next day delivery. If you call and buy direct instead of through ebay he'll knock a bit off postage as well!

that's true Dom. I had Alpine's terestrial tuner in mine for a while and even sat still it wasn't as good as in the house.

just chuck on a DVD
