M3 TV Reception

[jb2]

Ok.. not quite a critical problem I know!

I recently bought an M3 with all the gadgets but the TV reception is usually very poor. It has a digital freeview receiver in it, and when I pick up a good signal it's superb - but that's very rare and it is usually very distorted - just wondering if there is anything I can do/buy to improve it at all?

This is when the car is stationary btw, I don't have the in-motion cable fitted.

Cheers

I have the tv fitted in mine, possibly the most useless feature ever fitted to a car.

Hear, hear. I owned mine for 18 months and probably used the TV twice - pulling into a layby to let the chick you are trying to impress watch Emmerdale isn't as cool as it's cracked up to be.

I have a courtesy car at the moment, it has the freeview tuner, ditto struggle to get a decent reception and when I do I still can't get all the channels. It would be quite cool if you could use it at speeds under 5-10 mph, when crawling in traffic.

It would be helpful in the form of a DVD player, though. Does it have that facility built in? If so, then that represent the sum total of the benefit, by all accounts; save for the Sat Nav option, of course.

Sorry to go agains't the grain, but I always have the tv on in mine the reception is about 70% most of the time, however I dont really watch it I just would rather listen to the tv than dj's.
