I especially like the idea of the receiver being capable of both M/H and
standard ATSC.

MygoTV Mobile DTV Receivers Go Fast
by Doug Lung, 10.28.2010.
Last week I reported on mobile DTV receivers currently available from Amazon
and other retailers. Last weekend Innovative DTV Solutions, Inc. announced
3.5-inch and 7-inch MygoTV receivers capable of receiving both conventional
MPEG-2 ATSC broadcasts and the new ATSC Mobile DTV broadcasts. The 3.5-inch
receivers, including the MygoTV Model DMT336R 3.5" Mobile Radio DTV receiver
with FM radio have a 320x240 pixel, 4:3 aspect ratio display that doesn't match
the full ATSC Mobile DTV 419x240 resolution. The MygoTV Model DMT270R 7-inch
Mobile DTV receiver has a 16:9 800x480 pixel display but doesn't include an FM
radio.
Be aware that Amazon is selling MygoTV receivers that don't include ATSC Mobile
DTV! Don't be confused by these lower cost devices. I did not find any of the
newer MygoTV receivers with ATSC Mobile DTV capability on Amazon or any other
retailers' web sites.
MygoTV's web site has a Mobile DTV Store but all of the Mobile DTV receivers
are shown as sold out-amazing since the receivers were first announced Sunday!
If any readers managed to grab one of these receivers I'd appreciate hearing
how they work. Chip manufacturers are still improving ATSC Mobile DTV receiver
chips so I'd expect improved tuners to become available within the next six
months. However, with the 3.5-inch mobile DTV receiver listed at $109.00, $40
less than Target/'s price for a Jensen standard ATSC only handheld receiver, it
may be worth the risk.
Now that Mobile DTV receivers are appearing on the market and apparently
selling out fast, broadcasters need to move quickly to get mobile DTV
broadcasts on the air!
