I've bought a direct video in adapter for my RNS-D (there's no OEM TV tuner) so have more flexibility on locations.
I did play with the same DVB-T unit in my PF S8 feeding into the TV tuner; running cables wasn't really the problem, there are plenty of routes.
The aerial is my biggest problem TBH. Just finding a good "discreet" location that gives adequate reception. At the moment it's "parked" in the ski hatch awaiting some better weather so I can get on with the job.
But I now have loads of space in the boot side panels (both sides). Off side I now have a full panel and nearside I've dropped the CD player down below floor level so that whole space is empty (apart from bits and bobs I've stored there).
Nearside is probably favourite for the tuner and aerial amplifier as I've already arranged switched power slaved off the CD player feed from the RNS-D.
