Apparently the MPH In-band Mobile DTV system utilizes a “Mobile Microtuner ™ chip” from a company called (surprisingly, you might think), Microtune. Microtune are supplying the chipsets for the demo devices that LG are using at CES, including the mobile devices, and navigation aids.
For those of you who are interested in the details:
“Microtune’s Mobile MicroTuner MT2260, part of the Company’s suite of products for mobile and portable TV applications, is a multi-band, single-chip tuner engineered for high performance, high integration, and low power. Designed with a patent-pending architecture and ClearTune™ filtering technology, the tuner is implemented in an advanced silicon-germanium (SiGe) process.
The architecture features a shared mixer and filter structure and is single-ended to reduce components, cost and space. The MT2260 tuner is designed to deliver high sensitivity and low distortion for excellent performance and picture quality, even under the most difficult reception conditions.”
Hmmm, nice.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
