What happens to NAV TV TV on NAV when US signals go digital

[dmoney98]

This is a great Thread.
Please keep it alive until a resolution is found. Have there been any similar topics on other boards?

I have an anolog turner I purchased from NAV/TV about 3 years ago. I would be very interested in a "converter" that would work with this unit.

First, there would be no integration. If you used the composite video output, you would have to set the BMW TV on the A/V setting, and then use a separate remote to change channels on the digital tuner. Second, the BMW TV module is designed to use the diversity amp TV antenna feeds. My hunch is that reception from these antenna feeds might not be so great into a converter box, so you would have to use a separate TV antenna.
