Another silly attempt to find a non-existent market for mobile video, this time by Sirius Radio with Backseat TV

Listen to Howard in the front, while the kids watch Spongebob in the back.
Designed as a multi-zone universal system, the kit includes the SC-V1 A/V Tuner module, a wired display control unit, wireless audio remote control, wireless video remote control, remote eye (for rear seat control), FM switching interface, two mini magnetic antennas, and removable mounting plates.
The SC-V1 Multi-Zone operation allows for the regular Sirius Audio to pass through the main audio system, while the Sirius Backseat TV plays for the rear passengers.
Included with the SC-V1 kit is a display control unit that mounts up front and can operate either the audio functions or the video functions. There's also a dedicated remote control for backseat passengers to change video channels and a diversity antenna system for maximum signal reception.
The SC-V1 has a built-in FM modulator and antenna interface to connect to your car. It's compatible with standard NTSC monitors. The Sirius Connect A/V Tuner SC-V1 will be available at retail in Spring 2007, and will MSRP for $299.99.
