Cheeze1, I thought you may have mentioned in passing that you went ahead and did the TV mod, but I do not recall you describing much about what you did and how it turned out. I would like to know, and perhaps see a photo, if you can.
Happyjack2, I did not (yet) install a flat screen TV on the big door that I posted pics of several months back. We use the new laptop and WinTV USB tuner to watch movies/shows recorded from the tuner hooked up to the home desktop PC (record to hard drive and burn to DVDs). We bring the DVDs and the tuner with the laptop in the RV - mostly watch the DVDs, but may also want live TV for news and weather.
I initially found the whip antenna to be better than the crank-up batwing, but now think the batwing is better in wooded areas. The program guide and recording scheduler is far better software with WinTV tuner than the original Pinnacle tuner that we returned.
Overall, there are too many wires associated with using the laptop, but you do get to put it at eye level and look straight at it sitting on the sofa (laptop is on a TV tray placed in the aisle, though if you leave the dinette table up, that would be a good place for it also). The speakers needed more volume, so have to plug in external speakers that get power from a USB port and sound from the earphone jack - even more wires!
