Mobile freeview boxes in my experiance are cack.
Freeview requires good reception from an appropriate transmitter giving a good signal. This is very hard to acheive in a car.

Try it and see though and let us know how you get on.

Its hard enough to get it in your house round here lmao

When I was having a play with a freeview box I had to get within about 5 degrees of the correct alignment or I couldnt get a signal at all.

may give up on the idea if it will be that hard to keep or even get the signal

Couple of mates have the freeview box in there cars,and works well.
they use a small mag mount aerial to get better reception.

Yep, omni-directional high gain mag mount is the way to go.
