Digital TV ariel?

I am going to install a digital TV tuner for viewing through the Sat Nav screen.

All the in-car tuners seem to have antennas for attaching to the windows. I'm not too keen on this as it is a bit of a hassle having to trail wires and put up the antennas everytime you want to watch the TV.

Is there an alternative?

Can I wire the Tuner to the aerials which are within the rear side windows?

As always, thanks for any advice you can give.

short answer is yes - blue meanie has done it - don't expect miracles though, digital tv does not handle signal degradation anywhere as well as good old (soon to be departed) analog tv Big Cry Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Digital ariel

Hi
You will not get optimum reception this way for your digital signal the rear glass window ariel is configured for analogue TV which is on a different frequency to a digital frequency if you want a really good digital signal the best option is to locate a digital antenna on the roof of your disco these ariels are not as bad as they used to be.

Dave, where you are in Reading you should have a good signal so the window antennas should be fine just be v careful if you decide to go this way when soldering on to the tabs and it's worth investing in a couple of in line signal boosters to get the best reception. and theeeeennn......???

Thanks for all the advice.

Blue Meanie, I was thinking I would use conductive epoxy rather than soldering. I saw someone else had used this on an alternative post for something similar. In addition, my soldering is somewhat ham-fisted!!

I will definately have a go at this and will update with the progress.
