Mobile HD TV anyone?

Many of you have a head unit with a Monitor screen to view DVD's or (old school) VHS. How many of you use the monitors for TV reception using antenna?
Considering the switch to Digital transmission old school NTSC tuners will not work.., but there are ATSC to NTSC converters are out there, that are capable of 720P.
Making an HD antenna is easy enough as I have done it using 2 strips of 8" long copper wire from RG-6 cable, and the picture is unreal! (keeping in mind it's a directional signal)
Just wondering if anyone has the ability to add a TV tuner to their Head unit and take advantage of some free HD in your local area?
It'd be to be at the local park/drive-in and watch a fav show in your ride.
Talk to your local installer about it?

I don't see anything relating to off-Air TV reception on the in Car PC .
Does anyone make a dedicated ATSC tuner for the 12V industry
I saw a prototype on youtube, but nothing else so far.

I dont think there's anything for car yet, but like Father Yuli mention the carputer with a USB ATSC tuner is one solution.
