The Motorola MCT5100 was just such a solution.

MCT5100 M-DTV Module is intended to provide an "add-in" DTV
receptioncapability for existing analog TV set chassis designs.The module
accepts an analog IF signal that contains an 8-VSB modulated ATSCtransport
stream. After filtering and amplification and fast AGC, the signalis digitized
in an ADC and then sent to a VSB demodulator. The demodulatedtransport stream
then sent to a DTV decoder where it is first demultiplexedinto the MPEG video,
audio, and other control/data streams.The MPEG video is then decoded onboard
and driven to the output video tripleDAC and analog outputs. The audio stream
is sent to an audio processor whereit is decoded and driven to a stereo audio
DAC and analog outputs.Digital S/PDIF out is also provided for Dolby DigitalT
compliance. Overallcontrol and management of the DTV module rests with an
onboard systemcontroller which interfaces to the host TV via
a serial port.----- Original Message -----From: "Manfredi, Albert E"
