Are there any ATSC 3.0 demodulator chips available except for the LG chip? If the LG chip is captive, you're not likely to see any receiver products this year.

future. LG sells at least some of their 4K sets that way. Haven’t checked this 
out at Best Buy yet, but the LG 4K sets sold at Walmart aren't labeled as 
having ATSC 1.0/3.0 built in. No doubt, they aren't the top-of-the-line models 
that get ATSC 3.0 tuners, at Walmart.
