A bit of a leap of faith here by Mr. Lung.
He notes that the Mobile DTV products are ONLY available from the
MygoTV site, then assumes that since they are sold out that they are
selling well...
There is a good chance that some station engineer will contact Mr.
Lung with a "hands-on" review.

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!
