So, now that the single-chip solution is available, let's see who uses it. I
was hoping the article would list Samsung products that incorporate this chip.

Samsung Launches Mobile DTV Chip
10.22.2009.
On the same day that the ATSC announced the approval of the Mobile DTV
standard, Samsung Electronics introduced what it touts as the industry's "first
single chip" compatible with the new standard.
Samsung, a key developer of the ATSC standard, said the chip combines the radio
frequency (RF) and digital chip components into one single 65 nm-scale chip.
Compared to multi-traditional chipsets, the single chip provides makers of
various mobile devices, including mobile phones, car-mounted televisions and
portable media players an "optimal solution" that is more compact, uses less
power and is more affordable.
"Prior to Samsung's technical demonstration at the 2006 NAB Show, industry
experts believed that the compatibility of mobile TV broadcasting technology
with the existing ATSC broadcasting system was not possible." said Byung Duck
Cho, executive vice president of the digital media and communications R&D
center of Samsung Electronics.
"In early 2005, Samsung Electronics decided to apply significant resources to
ATSC standardization. Samsung succeeded in ATSC Mobile DTV standardization
through its dedication and support in cooperation with the ATSC, broadcasters,
and other electronics manufacturers. Through this collaborative accomplishment,
Samsung Electronics aims to advance its leadership in the North American mobile
market with mobile TV."
