Laws vary somewhat from state to state. A few states don't regulate TV use in a vehicle; most do. Of those that do, some stipulate that it cannot be in view of the driver, others that it must be physically behind their head (regardless of whether or not they can see it), and probably there are still further variations. That's the technicality of the laws; in practice, I would hope (but not assume, alas) that the vast majority of police officers would exercise a little bit of common sense here and recognize that the intent of the laws is to prevent the driver from being distracted, and that intent is served perfectly well by having the television blocked from the driver's view.
Modern digital broadcasts do not hold up well at all when the receiver is in motion. Stopped in traffic is, of course, a different situation, as is watching other source material like DVDs.
