Re: Hey Bob Miller - What do you think of LG's new HDTV receiver chip?

I don't know of any receiver that I could test with this generation yet.

DECEMBER 27, 2006 - LG Electronics, a leader in consumer electronics
and mobile communications, has released a sixth generation digital
broadcast receiver chipset for decoding digital broadcasts, both over-
air and cable, for TV viewing.

The sixth generation chipset can decode both vestigial sideband, the
North American standard for terrestrial digital over-air broadcasts,
and quadrature amplitude modulation, the North American standard for
digital cable broadcasts. The chipset applies an exclusive algorithm
that enhances reception and eliminates multi-path ghosts, a problem in
densely populated areas. This chipset is designed for use in
televisions, set top boxes and computer digital TV tuner cards.

"Our newest digital television receiver chipset has the best reception
in the industry and will play a key role in popularizing digital
television and digital broadcasting," said Choon Lee, Vice President
and Head of LG Electronics'' Digital TV Research Lab., "This sixth
generation chipset once again proves LG''s leadership in the digital
TV business by setting a higher standard in digital broadcast receiver
chipset."

The reception of this sixth generation chipset is 30 percent better
than fifth generation chipset, the current standard, which were
released in early 2004. Manufacturing costs for sixth generation
chipset have also been reduced thanks to a highly integrated design
using 90nm technology.

LG Electronics has always been first to market with new proprietary
technology for digital television. LG leads in reception capability
and integration technology, and the company also holds the most
patents for digital television receiver chipset.

This newest chipset will be integrated into digital televisions sold
in the United States, Korea and Canada, which all follow North
American standards for digital broadcasting. LG plans to supply
digital television makers around the world with its latest generation
chipset.
