Yeah. Definately the first thing I'll do once I take "second" delivery of my car... It feels just like mid May when I finally picked it up the first time... While Scuba Diving I didn't realized how much I miss driving it, but now...

I don't know what system is used in the UK but in Germany a lot of digital terrestrial tv channels are free to air. If you get the BMW factory fitted TV tuner in Germany it alseady includes a DBT tuner so you can enjoy all these channels immediately.
I am thinking of installing a digital tv tuner in my car but in Holland you need to buy a subscription with a smartcard :-(
Ont thing that is holding em back that if I want to have a TV tuner, an MPS player and a DVD player I am stuck with three separate remote controls, not very handy when driving.

I just picked up my car today and played with the digital tv tuner for a couple minutes.
So far, all I have to say is, it's great!
Details follow on the weekend, as well as pics!

The pic quality is waaaaay better than the regular tv quality. It is amazing.
I found out, that the box seems to have an aux input... I'll have my dealer check with BMW Munich, if this is just aux or av...
