TV Reception in Cars

[airbolt]

I would like to know if it is possible to get proper TV Reception in a Car( for use while parked of course! ) - of course I realise that signal strength varies area to area. Could the frame of the car be used to improve the reception? I have seen fixed aerials on some limos and caravans and wonder if that is possible ( or affordable )on an ordinary car? Any thoughts welcome.

Tricky really, Terrestrial TV reception channels depend on the area you are in, they range from 20-odd up to 70-ish and so you would need a wide band aerial and hopefully TV with auto tuning and then the reception quality would still on your location, adjacent buildings, hills etc.  You could go for satellite reception with a portable dish, all you need to know is where to point it and a 12V 'box' to decode it. (or 12 to 240V convertor to plug into your car.
