How do you like TV Tuner in US?
Steve will be doing a Euro Comand swap for me in November.....
I was considering spending some money on getting the TV Tuner option also...
Has anyone in the US got this done and how do you like it?

I was considering the same for my W211 but I met an owner of a silver 2003 CLK430 Cabrio and according to him, his setup is currently a major disappointment and headache.
But that's a W208 though... but also I don't think I want to risk it.
He is getting his system reconfigured back to stock.

It's pretty subjective.

There is no such a thing like USA antenna amp with TV.

1) Live with reduced AM/FM performance. I guess I have this, but since all my AM/FM stations come in perfectly, I guess I won't have a problem living with it. Also my satellite radio gets used quite a bit more, so AM/FM reliance is diminished.
2) Use an aftermarket antenna. This is cheaper and easier anyhow, and my CLK has this since I did not have COMAND from the factory, and the OEM antenna would be far too involved and costly a modification. No problems.
Or, should I still not have bothered installing TV tuners in three of my cars?

Actually, what management of the cokcpit is done on the comand unit if it were not equipped with nav? None as far as I can see. cokcpit management is more done by the steering wheel controls & dash display. Soe perhaps the name acronym was devised so that they wouldnt have to call it a ... radio.
Notice how ez it is to fool a software censor!
