We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital television",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Software project boosts digital TV interactivity from
Ocean Blue, which we summarised at the time by saying "The adaption of the Ocean Blue Voyager MHEG-5 and DSMCC software to the MediaTek DVB platform will allow interactive features such as text, online shopping, voting and video stream
selection".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Transmitters and bridge enable new HD link from
Silicon Image: "The Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) enables consumers to connect mobile devices directly to digital televisions".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Legend Silicon Corporation
concerning its LGS-8GS6
- take a look at SiP enables handheld reception in China
which says: "Device combines Legend Silicon's DTTB-compliant demodulator with a Sharp silicon tuner and a time de-interleaver memory in a small system-in-package 48-ball BGA".
Take a look also at the news release from Legend Silicon Corporation, Demodulator and silicon tuner come together,
as well as Model defines remote management of digital TV from DSL Forum,
and Audio DSP supports Dolby Volume from Cirrus Logic.
