Digi tuner

[television]

I got the digi tuner into the SL today. I used a normal house type tuner that ran on 12v, I have not done all of the aerials yet is I want to keep the other tuner intact until the last minute.

I took out the remote sensor and extended it to the front door pillar, but I will change that for a wide angle one though it works well.

I may use the draft screen as a aerial as the spacings are almost the same as a group B aerial.

Still the cost was nil and it works, I used a digi box with a RF modulator other wise every time I turned it on I would have to select Aux from the TV menu, and that is too fiddly.

I did the same to mine 2 summers ago but I took the casing off the digibox which left me with a very small processing board, the remote sensor and the scart connector. I fitted it under the passenger side dash as its so small. Works well but reception is very poor by me so need to driver a mile or so to get a good reception. It saves £400 on a special vehicle freeview reciever. My screen is the flip out due to it being a R129 model.

Nice one, I had to remove all of the casing from mine that is in the rear in the hole by the analogue tuner.

The signals will be boosted 30% when the old closes down

The retro for mine is £650

Just curious, but do you guys watch a lot of TV in the car, or are you doing this just becuase you can? I thought SL's were 2 seaters mostly, so does TV kill the in car conversation?

Only because I can and its free, I will never use it, but if I have a car with every known extra I have to do it, sad isn't it

Not in the least bit. I used to have to drive lowly bas spec company Cavaliers and the amount of blanking plugs in the dash where the goodies "should" have been really used to bother me.

I also think a wood console with only a few buttons on it, looks plain wrong in a W124. Now who is the sad one?

;o)

Haven't you never wanted to watch QVC on a wet Sunday evening in a layby?
Me neither, just because I wanted to and could.
