Telegent Systems on Friday announced the TLG2300, a single-chip analog/DTV receiver, which the company plans to sell to notebook and netbook makers.
While this may sound intriguing, Telegent still isn’t developing chips around the U.S. ATSC standard, but rather the DVB-T standard used in Europe, Australia, and parts of southeast Asia.
Like its predecessor, the TLG2300 includes support for the NTSC/PAL/SECAM analog standard, but with the U.S. kinda/sorta turning off analog TV signals on Feb. 17, the importance of that feature remains somewhat in doubt. (There continues to be growing concern over whether or not Americans will stage some sort of mass revolt if they can’t receive “American Idol” over their analog rabbit ears.)
