I would think it's a very bad idea to have the disk drive running while the vehicle is bouncing down the highway. Maybe they're made to take it like your CD player but maybe not.
We've already touched on the fact that the receiver can go into power saving mode, supposedly parking the head.
My rig rides smooth enough to leave open containers on the counter which do not spill.
In general the comments for drive failings don't add up for me. In-motion dishes are a common item and when it's connected to a DVR - ie disk spinning, etc.
When I worked in the drive industry the drives were hardy enough that vibrating/bouncing down the road were very unlikely to bother them.
Ditto for those using laptops for the internet and/or navigation while vibrating/bouncing down the road.
So do only DVR drives fail while traveling down the road?
