I have no problems in my prostar, ive got a 26" i lay flat on my bed when im driving and put it up at night on the desk thing.
As far as the T2000 Ive seen some drivers attach the pivoting flat panel mounts in the area the small tv is supposed to gorixter9146 Thanks this. -
I used to use my TV card, and stream things over the net, but I switched to downloading series and stuff while Im away, then copying them over to my laptop when I get home. Just finished Star Trek TNG, putting that on now. And have all the Simpsons, Futurama, X-Files, Top Gear, and MythBusters. Then for my flatscreen its just a 26" computer monitor I leave on the bed when Im driving. 2 minutes to set everything up.
I bought a big cutting board at walmart, I put that on the pull out desk, put my laptop and mouse on that, and my screen sits in front of that on the spot the TV is supposed to go in a Prostar, plenty of room. I also have a keyboard I can connect and set on the laptop. Its nice when I want to chat on MSN, or surf the web of play Mass Effect 2

My laptop has a card that pops into the side that makes it emulate TV. Slip it in, plug in the antenna, grab the remote and start watching TV.
