Here's a neat innovation from Spanish-based hi-fi firm Vieta that might help keep the kids quiet on those long car journeys. The TDT500C is a compact, terrestrial digital Freeview television (DVB-T) tuner that hopes to put an end to the drawbacks that have always plagued traditional analogue mobile television - namely interference and the resulting constant variations in quality due to the receiver being in motion.
The TDT500C is also fitted with a powerful TinyRISC 108MHz CPU and is primarily designed to operate with Vieta's range of in-car LCD monitors although it will work with any in-car screen.
The tuner will be available in August for £400. More information can be found at www.vieta-uk.com
