Question.
I was going to buy one of those small in dash TV units for my Celi...when I remembered that in 2009 all US signals will go digtial. It seems kind of useless buying an analog unit?!? What do we do to get the digital signal? Do they actually make all-in one head TV units for cars with digital capicity? Or do we have to buy an additinal box to convert the signal?

I know for analog home TV homes they have convertor boxes to go digtal, and I think I see mobile converter boxes on ebay. What I really want is to find a unit that doesnt need a converter. -------------------- |

No No haha. It's just for chillin in the car with the girlfriend, friends, late night munchies, etc. No viewing while driving. Well I just hope that Post Feb 2008 prodution number also applies to in car units. I would imagine the majority of ones on Ebay still are only for analog, that is, the ones that are made here and not in Asia, which is like 99% the case. -------------------- |

This is the best I came up with if you DONT want to throw out your analog unit.
