Car TV Antennas

[Ben Prusia]

Can anybody recommend a TV Antenna for an automobile? I was planning on cannibalizing one of my kid's 7" LCD screens in the backseat for getting local TV Channels (already getting a DTV converter box for the backseat TVs) while out chasing but also for the kid's entertainment when not chasing. I am looking for something that would get at least get some reception (more than 20-25 miles). I prefer something that can be mounted to a luggage rack (Nissan Xterra) over a magnet mount but anything will do.

I have been looking at a Philips MANT-940 antenna at Wal Mart that appears can be mounted to a mast (but not sure if it can be mounted to the size of the railing on the Xterra's luggage rack). I kind of have a fear that the antenna mentioned is directional, but not too sure.

Ben,
Try Motor Home, Camper, and Travel trailer supply stores, similar to Camping World, etc.

Here is what I was using. Worked great with an antenna amp. I PM'd you also.
