Default Getting TV on the move ?

Hi All...

I travel down to Portishead on a fairly regular basis with the missus and she has asked if I can get the telly on for her to watch...

Does anyone know if there is a simple way of disabling the saftey screen that appears on the Hi Line ?

I have seen TV in motion leads, but these seem pretty steep on the cost front

Not sure you'll be able to keep locked onto a digital signal on the move?

Seans' d/d is good with his dvb units, just a case of ticking or unticking() a box in settings to enable watching while driving............. which i'm sure you dont!!

Certainly won't be able to maintain a perfect picture indefinitely,the best I've achieved is about 20-25 miles without a re-tune.The terrain you are traveling through also has a big effect on quality of reception.That's with Sean's DD btw.

Well 20 - 25 miles would do... She can always retune it with the remote... Just cant see much info on if anyone has managed to sort this on the Hi Line units

It won't work on the move for long if at all a digital signal is fantastic for a static location, it was never designed to keep up with a moving antennae. Best bet get a good android phone or iphone/ipad with 3G or a dongle and watch TV catch up or Sky go, you will get the odd signal drop but far more reliable.

I often put sky news on through the iphone and as the sound is bluetoothed through my head unit I listen to the reports. Of course driving and watching is dangerous and very silly so don't do it.

Using the Resler interface and Navcoder you can take this off.
I have the hardware and software if your ever up this way, it only takes 5 min
