Any one know where I can get a decent portable aerial for this or for one in the car?
If someone has experience with the reception quality as I travel a lot and want to use it in the car etc.
In the hotels I finf this feature pointless as most hotels have TV with cable or sat.

Thanks

Roy

My recomendation would be to buy an inexpensive amplified TV set top type antenna. This will give you a chance to check it out and see if the TV signals in your area are strong enough for use on the road.

If the antenna works mix up some epoxy adhesive and glue it to the roof of your car.

If you want to use the hotels cable/antenna you may want to check with the front desk first.

When I got my first computer, 20 years ago, I was living in a hotel in NJ were I had just started a new job. In those days the PC was a box with keyboard on top and had RF output to a tv set for display. When I purchased this computer and got back to my room I so excited that I set it up and pulled the tv antenna cable and hooked up the computer. I proceeded to do the only things you could do with a PC back then: write programs in BASIC to blink colored dots on the tv. Anyway, there was some kind of silent alarm triggered when I unhooked the antenna from the tv. In about ten minutes hotel security was knocking on the door to see if I was stealing their tv.
