Microtune has unveiled a tuner chip for high-speed in-car television. The company bills the new chip, called the MicroTuner MT2067, as a world-standard, automotive-grade TV tuner that provides stable TV reception for passengers in vehicles traveling at speeds of 125 mph along the autobahn or highway.

It's pretty small too, measuring just 7-by-7 millimeters. The chip lets automakers replace conventional modules with lower-profile silicon TV tuner chips, and also supports multi-standard global TV receiver platforms. That means worldwide analog and digital terrestrial standards that include NTSC, PAL, SECAM, DVB-T, DVB-H, ISDB-T, DTMB, ATSC and ATSC-M/H. The MT2067 tuner is in production now and is priced at $7.50 per unit in quantities of 10,000. (Via Engadget)
