They have this feature for the 2IS in Japan. I saw it. It could tune into TV stations and even watch while the car is moving. They even have a TV button on the nav. I'm sure its possible to add this feature here but don't know how...

Nowei yo, not any more. The purpose of camping these days is to see how much technology you can transport into the woods with you.

One option might be to get Fly Audio or the VaisTech ML+ and then hook a TV tuner into one of your open video ports.

FlyAudio comes with tv tuner and out put, but in the state u cant watch analog tv , being all channels now required digital.... those are out side of the U.S can watch normal analog channels... there are few members who done it... Also u can watch movies or any avi clips... resolution is 720p... So if u had blueray quality videos and want to convert to avi just dl boilsoft video splitter , u can set it from 1080p to 720p and set high 128kp to 320 audio=mp3 quality . Your home theater now its in your car...
