Your next netbook could come complete with a built-in TV tuner thanks to Telegent Systems.The company has announced the launch of the first free-to-air, single-chip TV receiver for PCs, laptops, MIDs and netbooks.
The hybrid chip receives both digital and analogue TV, a solution that Telegent says "reduces the complexity and cost of adding live TV to portable devices".
The TLG2300 is a single-chip CMOS hybrid TV receiver that claims low power usage that supports DVB-T, PAL/SECAM/NTSC TV and FM radio.
