The 2008 Dodge minivans will be the first vehicles to carry the new digital-television programming from satellite radio provider Sirius, Said Chrysler. Later the service will be carried to 2008 model year vehicles like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger and Magnum, the Jeep Commander and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The channels to be offered initially are - Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and the Cartoon Network. And the hardware for the system will combined the state of the art pieces already announced for the minivans, including Chrysler's MyGIG media storage system and a dual-DVD entertainment system that lets backseat passengers view two different programs. When the vehicle is in Park, Sirius TV programming will also be available on the front-seat vehicle screen. Chrysler described the hardware to have an in-vehicle satellite receiver and two small roof-mounted antennas. The satellite-TV installations, configured currently, incorporate a large single assembly on the vehicle's roof. Most significantly, the service will be cheaper than existing satellite-TV installations, that run with approximately  $2000, whereas the Sirius system will only cost $470, and which does not include the cost of the entertainment system, with a $7 charge for programming on top of the Sirius radio monthly charge of $12.95 – from a report currently issued in the press release.
