3 TV Tuners—Ripe for Innovation RF front end has resisted integration due to performance Previous attempts could not match the performance of traditional discrete tuners and hybrid iDTVs increase performance challenges To date, silicon tuners only successful in less strenuous set-top box and PC-TV applications, discrete tuners still used in iDTV for highest performance Catalysts for change include Transition from analog to hybrid creates additional complexity and cost Continuous pressure to reduce system and manufacturing costs Slimmer TV form factors creating space constraints
