I have a Veba DVD player and that is ok in the car.

I am interested in the freeview box that you are having fitted as I would like to know how good the picture is when you are on the move (for the passengers of course).

will let you know in due course, chap reckons he has fitted a few and as they have twin aerial twin feed tend to be fairly decent on the move!! he had a look at dvd player in my car already and there is an input on that to go straight in with video and sound which is handy!! just means i have to switch dvd on via remote, put it to source 2 then freeview away!!!

Free aerials with that particular one. I hear this is the best option to go to for a 'better' reception - two aerials ad mpeg4. Not too familiar with this technology and would be interesting to see what kind of reception can be had!

I get nothing with one antenna, powered as well - still WIP though! ;)
