Hi All, I have come across this interesting item on ebay while looking for a DVB-T, this one seems to be an exception to the others that are avalible plus it's not expensive!
It seems that not only can you receive Digital Freeview channels but it also has a USB input that will enable you to playback several of the compressed audio and video formats such as MP3, MP4, MPG, DAT, VOB, AVI and WAV, this means that you can do away with your DVD player and or I-Pod, (have on screen display) and replace them with a removable/portable inexpensive Hard Disk Drive (many work on 12V) that can be located in the boot (Trunk) and have quick access to a very large collection of media, depending on the size of the HDD you could store 100's of movies and 1000's of albums, (yes albums not tracks) it comes with 2 high gain antennas as well as a remote control receiver which has a long cable, this would allow the unit to be place in the rear of the vehicle with the IR receiver placed up front then all you have to do is point the remote control at it (IR receiver) and you have got full control of your music and movie selection, when you are fed up of those then remove the HDD connect to your computer then transfer your new media collection.
