From that I understand is GE is making a SmartAntenna that will work way better, but I don't think that have released it yet, I have a port on my coverterbox for it. TV switch over sucks, but I still think the OEM tuner "ROCKS"!!!

Hmmm... the trouble is an amplifier or "smart" antenna cannot receive and decode 2 x datastreams at once, which is what the diversity tuner does. A diversity tuner compares the two signals and measures their error rates and selects the best signal at any time. This can mean a rapid switching between tuners and signals at multiple times a second to provide the stable output signal.
Really, in a mobile environment, the dual-antenna (with antenna diversity) and dual-tuner is the minimum required to get a stable signal. The modern BMW automotive digital TV tuners actually have 4 x tuners and 3 x antennas: 1 tuner to scan and find signals 1 tuner to decode the signals and find out what channel is where 2 tuner to act as a diversity function for the currently tuned channel 3 x antennas which the RF antenna amplifier constantly switches between based on the instructions from the currently tuned channel. So you see it is a compley receive environment requiring a lot of effort to get a stable, reliable signal I expect that ATSC automotive digital TV tuners will appear, complete with diversity antennas and diversity tuners, but it will take time for the market and demand to develop. |

I have heard that Alpine and Microtune said there was no demand but I would think that the RV industry and Limos would eventually generate a demand. We may be in a long waiting period. Lyonsden, what units have you tried so far?
