Your average American, it has been discovered, spends about 2 1/2 hours in their car daily. Working on the assumption that the Average American also spends eight hours a day sleeping, that means that the time spent in a car takes up more than one-eighth of you and your family's time during the day. And if you don't want to spend that time being annoyed at the traffic, then maybe you should look into getting an in-car entertainment system.

One of your options is in-car TV. This is especially useful for keeping the kids entertained while they're in the back. As any parent will tell you, when the kids are in the back watching their favorite show, long car trips have become a breeze!

Other than keeping the kids entertained, in-car TV means you can also get some TV time for yourself. Satellite TV in your car lets you watch your sports shows, for example- no more having to rush home to catch the game, only to get frustrated when you get stuck in traffic. You can also watch your favorite network shows, and catch the latest episode of that series you've been following. You can now become a mobile fan. You can have a TV tuner installed (there are many available), but the standard tuner suffers from bad image quality and frequent disruptions because of interference. Being mobile makes it worse, as it gets hard for your tuner to get a signal. The AT&T Cruise Broadcast TV in your Car, on the other hand, is a great alternative. It's still affected by factors like weather (snow or rain, for example), and by physical obstructions like tunnels and tall buildings, but there are new features available that make these less of a problem.

The AT&T Cruise Broadcast TV in your Car receives a signal from an antenna mounted on the roof of your car- because you depend on a satellite instead of a signal tower, you get the best coverage: a strong, clear signal in almost any location in the United States, as long as there's good line of sight to the satellite.

Just like your satellite TV at home, signal reception depends on a clear line of sight. Trees, snow, and tunnels will still interfere with the signal, but the AT&T Cruise Broadcast TV in your Car has a feature where your system preloads several minutes ahead of what you're watching, forming a buffer that gives you uninterrupted service even if there's interference. Before you head straight for your nearest car stereo shop, you might want to look up whether your state has any laws regarding the installation of TV monitors in your car. Safety has to be your number one priority, so don't watch TV and drive. Some states have banned the use of monitors in the front part of the car, so the AT&T Cruise Broadcast TV in your Car can only be installed in rear headrest screens and window monitors that are placed in the back part of the passenger area for more information visit your local authorized dealer center Startronics 3108 Wilshire Blvd. Santa Monica CA USA 1 310 828-8604.
