    TV tuner and DVD

    I have an LCD screen already. I was looking into the dvd player/tv tuners that are out on ebay. I was also lookin into the just TV tuners also. Has anyone had any experience with these? The DVD ones dont seem to come with antennas for the TV tuner. So I'm wondering how the stations would be picked up. Here are a few that I was lookin at on ebay.

    tv tuners

    thanks for replies. With any of these, I would be able to plug in a PS2 or other game systems, because they all have audio/video inputs. And my head unit has an auxilary input for the audio out on the tuners.

    yes, I have a pioneer head unit. There is an auxiliary input on it. But I was still wonderin about these other ones off of ebay cause they have TV tuners, so you can get regular tv channels in. Just wonderin how good the stations actually come in. And if you get a PS2, you still also need a power converter thing, to go from 12v DC to 120v AC.

    So it looks like the best bet is to just get a PS2. Well, how about this question. Where is a good spot to mount the PS2? I want it to be easily removable. I was thinkin that if I got a PS2, I could mount it somehow on the back seat. Because you can have the seat up or down, and you can use the PS2 in either position too. Anyone ever think of that? thanks for the replies.
