    Park n' View. :)

    For you new guys, that was the predecessor to Idle Air. You got a phone line and tv cable in a roll that you hooked up to your TV and a phone provided by Park n View. With your subscription you got long distance phone service and cable TV.

    Some truckstops yanked them out when Park n View folded or simply let the snow plows take them out. Others like Liberty Fuel just left them in

    So that's a cable hook up like you'd get at a camp ground? Too bad companies are going all digital. Just another way for them to force you to get a box and pay more.

    I'm guessing some drivers yanked them out too... or tried by accident. ;)
