How useful do you find the TV/DVD?

When choosing my car, I decided against the dual-view screen figuring my passenger would feel rather sick staring at the screen watching a film, plus I'd rather my passenger (usually my wife) chatted to me rather than stared at a film, and I hoped my wife would rather that too! For those with it (or with the TV tuner), how often do you honestly use it?

In my present car (albeit not split-screen, so doesn't work on the move), never!

The only times I have used it are when I'm sat in the car waiting in the queue for the car wash and even then there isn't usually anything I want to watch. I don't have a TV in the house so don't miss it when I'm in the car. It's the 2nd car I have had with hybrid TV, lived without TV since 1985 in the house, don't need it in the car. Waste of money, but I'm sure if I had kids then it would be different, but then I would have a sensible car with RSE.

So how does she feel when you are tapping away contributing to the forum. Would she rather you talk to her! Laughing

I use it all the time listening to the news on my way to work. The reception isn't that great as it cuts out often when doing greater speeds in the car. Also, if you are in the full image view mode travelling below 5 mph, and you increase the speed above 5mph, the tv function does cut off and stays off. You have to go back into pressing the buttons to go into full image view mode again. Annoying at times.
