With the unveiling of the SiriusConnect SC-V1 Audio/Video Tuner, the question remains about the service that feeds the video content to this system - current entitled Sirius Backseat TV.

According to sources, Sirius Backseat TV will be offered for approximately $6.99/month. This is a separate subscription from the regular Sirius Satellite Radio subscription.

These sources also claim that three channels will be made available for the service - all targeting children. While no details on the source of the content, Sirius was showing Cartoon Network programming at CES. So here's a bit of history on Cartoon Network, and the likely possibilities for channel content, should a deal with Cartoon Network actually be real:

In September of 2006, Cartoon Network launched Cartoon Network Video - and online video service that is currently only available in the U.S. In July of 2006, Cartoon Network and VIZ Media launched Toonami Jetstream which provides online streaming video of Cartoon Network content. Toonami is also the brand owned by Turner Broadcasting (who owns Cartoon Network) for an action-oriented animation channel in the UK. Turner also owns Boomerang, which is a subset of Cartoon Network (and is a popular channel overseas - especially in the UK where it beats out BBC Kids).

Again this is all speculative, so a grain of salt may be appropriate at this time.

The SiriusConnect SC-V1 Audio/Video Tuner is the first satellite tuner that not only receives Sirius audio, but also Sirius Backseat TV programming. Listen to Howard in the front, while the kids watch Spongebob in the back.

Designed as a multi-zone univeral system, the kit includes the SC-V1 A/V Tuner module, a wired display control unit, wireless audio remote control, wireless video remote control, remote eye (for rear seat control), FM switching interface, two mini magnetic antennas, and removable mounting plates.

The SC-V1 Multi-Zone operation allows for the regular Sirius Audio to pass through the main audio system, while the Sirius Backseat TV plays for the rear passengers.

Included with the SC-V1 kit is a display control unit that mounts up front and can operate either the audio functions or the video functions. There’s also a dedicated remote control for backseat passengers to change video channels and a diversity antenna system for maximum signal reception.

The SC-V1 has a built-in FM modulator and antenna interface to connect to your car. It’s compatible with standard NTSC monitors. The Sirius Connect A/V Tuner SC-V1 will be available at retail in Spring 2007, and will MSRP for $299.99.

There's a TON of photos after the jump (warning, not for the bandwidth squeamish)...

Thanks to a press release issued about the 2008 Dodge Magnum, it looks like Sirius will be making their Sirius Backseat TV option available to OEMs.

While the '08 Magnum will have Sirius Satellite Radio factory-installed, it will also have a "streaming video option" as well.

Sirius demonstrated Sirius Backseat TV at CES 2007. More on that shortly.
