Microtune’s in-car TV tuner snags Days of our Lives at 125mph

Filed under:

Say you’re James Bond (or similar), and for once, you’re actually not the one behind the wheel. While you’re being chauffeured around the elegant Italian countryside at breakneck speeds, you’ll probably want a little live TV entertainment from the back seat. Enter Microtune’s MicroTuner, a “first-of-its-kind tuner chip for high-speed in-car TV.” Put simply, the MT2067 is built to provide “superior, stable TV reception for passengers in vehicles traveling at top speeds along the autobahn or highway,” and supposedly, it can retain a clear signal whilst motoring at 125 miles-per-hour. Better still, it’s supports worldwide analog / digital terrestrial standards including NTSC, PAL, SECAM, DVB-T, DVB-H, ISDB-T, DTMB, ATSC and ATSC-M/H. $20 says this comes integrated into next year’s TV-infused line of Bentley motorcars.
