How to Install an In-Car TV Aerial
A TV aerial, also known as an antenna, must be used in order to watch television in a car. You can install a TV aerial yourself inside the car with a few supplies common to most households and from an aftermarket car dealership. The TV aerial can be purchased from an electronics store or from an aftermarket car dealership as well. The interior of the car will not be damaged, nor will you have to route any wires from the outside to the inside of the car.
