In-car satellite TV never made sense - why waste $1300 and $20-30 a month on something you ever only use at most 30-40 minutes a day - and then only on maybe one or two days a month?

The driver doesn't benefit from the system - they can't watch the TV either way and there's no programming FOR adults (it's all cartoons - and crappy ones at that).

Only way in-vehicle satellite TV works is if you're going cross-country in an RV. And then I'd just stick with a prepaid DishNow system or else just use free-to-air (and accompanying hacks to get onto Dish). Or if I were smart, I'd stray towards RV parks with free WiFi and just Hulu all the shows I want to see when traveling. #gizmodoremainders

There's a similar situation with a town listed as "Ioka, IA" near where I live. It's on Google maps, but there is literally one house there. #gizmodoremainders

Humbug! If you can't keep your snot-nosed little ragamuffins from driving you crazy while you're driving, odds are some gizmo, or collective of gizmos, is not going to help you. If the kid knew that driving you up the wall will only cause more misery for them, you'll do a whole lot better.

Just note: if you make a kid scrub the bathroom with nothing but a toothbrush and a cup full of cleaning agent, with strict supervision, it's suddenly not so fun to get in trouble. Grounding? Screw that. Their room's full of toys. Make em suffer!

Or you could do what I do with my sons. It's called shut the hell up, keep your voices down while I'm driving, or I'll pull the car over, and whoop your asses in a Burger King parking lot.

Having them veggie out in a back seat of a car doesn't teach them discipline. Kids with no sense of discipline grow up to be adults with no discipline. Then they do stupid crap like post "first" comments on your favorite blog.

@DeadhousepIants:

Yeah, your kids will be really disciplined, taking inspiration from some swearing, violent deadbeat parent that has nothing better to do that go to gizmodo.com and bitch about backseat TV.

Yeah, you'll be the one with the disciplined kids! LMAO!!!

@DeadhousepIants: That's not good parenting, that's called the ol' "I can't figure out a civilized way to reason with my children, so I resort to violence and vulgarities" way of raising your kids.

Yes, maybe SOMETIMES it's okay, but for the most part, problems can be solved without violence or freaking out. If you deal with your child's problems logically, that's how they'll learn how to deal with their problems down the road. If you deal with your child's problems violently, most likely, that's how they'll deal with their problems down the road. Or they'll become very timid and antisocial, because they're scared to make mistakes.

That's just my views though, lol feel free to flame away.

Wow, we are SOOOO lucky that cars have TV's in them now. Now children can finally travel in the car. Before this time, kids were knocked out w/ drugs and shipped via cargo crates from their houses to the local fast food place.

This shit seriously pisses me off. Interact with your children. Having TV's in the car, for the sole purpose of entertaining children, is the reason many of todays youth feel so entitled to things. Read in the car. Listen to the radio. Put a book on tape in the stereo, and play that. Do something constructive. /rant
