[QUOTE="Jim1348, post: 142649, member: 4017"]I am something of a news junkie. While I don't make a lot of road trips, I do make some from time to time. I would love to be able to listen to local television news broadcasts, [U]while in motion[/U], when traveling across the United States. In the past, I had a device (Auto Talk) that connected to my AM/FM radio. It allowed me to tune in to the audio portion of NTSC broadcasts. I miss that because I could hear the audio a long ways from the towers. Anyway, unless I am unaware of something else, my two most viable options now are ATSC-M/H. I have a mobile DTV tuner. They don't have a large "footprint" and only a limited number of stations even have this. So that leaves the other option of listening via streaming websites. Does anybody hear have a good feel if most TV stations have this option on their website or is it pretty hit and miss? Now I do have a Slingbox connected to my DISH Network receiver. I suppose if money were no object I could get mobile satellite TV, but I have never looked upon that as a viable option! I wonder if I could enter a local ZIP code to my home based DISH receiver and have it tune in local over the air broadcast that are carried on their satellites![/QUOTE]
