by Darren Murph posted Jun 9th 2008 at 8:10AM

We heard that Legend Silicon and Intel were teaming up to push HDTV dongles in China, and push they have. aigo has just announced that it has used technology from the former to build USB TV tuners for catching OTA HD signals on laptops, PCs or any other manner of devices capable of watching video. In China, it's estimated that many of the devices will be used to watch the upcoming Olympics in Beijing in glorious high-definition, while DVB-T users in Europe will have yet another choice for snagging HD on-the-run. Reportedly, the tuners will demand around $100 a pop, but there's no word on where or when they'll show up.

China promised OTA HDTV in 2008, and they're not waiting to deliver it. Starting January 1, China's Central Television HD station moves from digital cable-only to the airwaves in Beijing, and progressing to the rest of the country over the next few years. Viewers may need a new set-top box to receive CCTV's DMB-T signals, and it will be broadcast on all public antennas and cable systems. Between the Olympics, CH-DVD, and cheap HDM players 2008 will be a year of many interesting developments for high definition in China.

China to go HD OTA in 2008

China BuildingChina is all the rage these days, I mean they make all the great gadgets we love. Sure we design most of them, but someone has to assemble all that stuff. It is about time they are going to be able to enjoy OTA HD like we have for so long. The interesting part is that they have their own format called DMB-T and will be rolled out between 2006 and 2010, but no HD till 2008. Who wouldn't want to be the company to sell them 4.1 million OTA HD tuners?
