    Probably not but now it doesn't matter much as I have direct TV and it works when I'm parked.

    It's the cube thing you were talking about.


    You mount it on the back of the cab.

    You now need a digital converter box or a digital antenna. The cb/tv/amfm antenna will not pick anything up without a digital converter box.

    And the frequencies are different now since the switch to digital, so a truck that is more than a couple years old will NOT have an antenna that is built for the new channels.

    Newer digital tv's work will tune without a box or digital antenna. I'm in SLC right now, tv is hooked up to the truck coax... 35 digital channels and 5 analog.
