Perhaps I misinterpreted your enthusiasm about "a 4-function DTV tuner, for
analog and
ATSC DTV as well as analog and cable digital TV, available essentially now" and
your question, "I wonder how the ATSC portion compares with the LG unit."
From what I read in the EE Times article you quoted, the only genuine bits of
"news" are that (a) Toshiba is making DTV sets that have integrated digital
cable & ATSC tuners/receivers/decoders, and (b) they're using Microtune's
silicon RF tuners.
Is there some new technology here? Some improvement in either performance,
level of integration or cost? There is no way to know for sure, but it doesn't
look like it.
