again this is not freaking 10 years ago, this is now!, again this is a solution for the companies that produce electronics its a cheap option to include in the build. Apple and Samsung, LG etc . no unsightly antenna sticking out.

its now viable for companies to include, without much increase in costs!

its nothing new, and could be done now easyly, but nobody cares for tv.

and they still need an antenna, the chip doesnt change anything about the need of a antenna to get a good signal.  its like radios, they till need an antenna if you wanna get a good signal, and chips cant change this fact, its the physik, stupid...

the old tuner didnt needed "data" too, TV never needs "data". they just used other tech to get the signal to you. small digital tv tunder arent new too, we had them  in europe in a lot of high end "smart"phones. and we have much better free tv than the us. but nobody cared, and without a big home market for this tech it died realy fast. like i said, cable and satellite tv are cheap and have more channels(you can get a satellite antenna for 50€ with tuners for 200+ free channels).

maybe there is a market for it in the states, but the tech behind it isnt new.

Could be done easy?  If that was the case other companies would also be doing it right now, you keep saying there is no demand, or that no one wants it. But the ironic thing is how many would want an FM radio chip inside their phone that , as you could say no one wants; but yet companies put it in there and now people when they buy the smartphone it most of the time already has a FM radio chip included.

 

And this is the best response yet, you states this:

 Stop and think about what you just wrote for a min, and think about how the FM radio chips work inside smart phone's...which is quite ironic you brought them up!

Example: you said it need's a physical antenna......LMAO you are correct it does, so how do you get one on a smartphone today WITH NO ANTENNA STICKING OUT...Hmmmm, there has to be some way right?

Just like smart phones that has a FM radio chip included that all you do is plug in ear buds or external speakers to pick up reception!
