I have a V70 with similar option....ive wondered about purchasing a "digi box" TV converter, but find one that has a 12v transformer, so it would be able to be powered by the car, rather than by mains power.

then plug this inbetween the aerial and the Volvo TV box and see what happens then.

In short it’s possible (is it worth it?) you would need a DVB-T tuner module possible one from a different car could be used otherwise it’s a standalone decoder and RF modulator that would connect between the aerial and socket (if it’s a combined aerial more complex but doable ....... eBay might have a Chinese seller offering a suitable box of dubious quality.....
