I had purchased an AVerMedia USB TV tuner for my laptop back in '08 to do exactly as you planned in our Roadtrek (http://www.avermedia-usa.com/AVerTV/product/ProductList.aspx?IID=3)
Really didn't use it much - just found it a hassle to hook it up every time to catch the news, etc. Still have it - it works quite well, just not convenient. Ended up replacing the CRT TV (thus freeing up cabinet space...) with a 19" LCD TV. BTW - weren't you travelling to AK with a cat in '08, too? IIRC, you had a microwave problem, right? We visited at a rest area in the Yukon! ST
No, it wasn't us - AK is still on the bucket list! We don't have a cat.
However, we did have microwave problems and a Roadtrek next to our site at Edisto Beach SP in SC did in fact help us. We didn't have the manual, but he did.
Thanks for your comments about the computer/tv tuner idea. Didn't think about the connecting/unconnecting hassle so we will probably go with a flat screen TV and a replacement computer, as some others have also suggested.
