The problem with this is that the home converter boxes don't have a diversity tuner and therefore have the signal go bad once the car starts to move. JAMES on bimmerboard has tried it. He and I with Jochens help have come up with a cable to hook it up to the antenna but it only works when not moving. I contacted Microtune to see if they were going to make a diversity tuner module for the ATSC system and they said no. They do make on for the overseas market that I think is the module used in the BMW hybrid tuner to get analog and DVB-T system used overseas. The Artec unit is 12 volt and I am still going to get one to play with. JAMES has tried two units I think and he is still looking for a diversity tuner type. You might go the Microtune web site and look for Part MT2131 which is for the ATSC converer boxes and Part MT7402 which is the DVB-T hybrid unit. I hope some of you out there will find a diversity Tuner for us all to use.
