Does it meet applicable parts of ... A/74 – Receiver Performance Guidelines18 June 2004, Download PDF File <http://www.atsc.org/standards/a_74.pdf>, associated Excel spreadsheet of capture data
This Recommended Practice addresses the front-end portion of a receiver of digital terrestrial television broadcasts. The recommended performance guidelines enumerated in this document are intended to assure that reliable reception will be achieved. Guidelines for interference rejection are based on the FCC planning factors that were used to analyze coverage and interference for the initial DTV channel allotments. Guidelines for sensitivity and multipath handling reflect field experience accumulated by testing undertaken by ATTC, MSTV, NAB, and receiver manufacturers.

I thought this was interesting, a cheap multi-system tuner chip that is supposed to be suitable for portable devices. I've noticed more low-end ATSC compatible sets at local stores, but nothing in the portable/small category. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microtune has announced a new tuner chip that brings digital TV to PC notebooks, portable TVs, tuner sticks, portable DVD players and other small devices that demand both high performance and lower power. Called the MicroTuner MT2130, the new tuner, when integrated into portable consumer products, allows users to watch analog and digital TV across cable or off-air broadcasts, time-shift programs and capture video for multimedia applications. The MT2130 is based on the architecture of the company¹s three-in-one tuner ‹ the MT2131 analog/digital/cable tuner, a silicon TV tuner that meets the ATSC standard. Based on its real-world experience with mobile and PC-TV tuner applications, Microtune designed the MT2130 to meet the specific RF technical requirements of power-sensitive, space-constrained products. The MT2130 has three tuners ‹ analog, digital terrestrial and cable ‹ and supports multiple TV transmission standards, including ATSC, QAM, DVB-T, ISDB-T, DMB-T, NTSC, PAL and SECAM. At 1/4in, the MT2130 chip fits into very small designs, such as dongle or flash-stick packages, and can be configured in multituner architectures, which enable diverse applications and permit users to watch and record two or more channels simultaneously.
