The chip can be made to tune the frequencies that are used for tv broadcasts in the us. If the device itself can't decode the digital data, software on the computer can do that.

they say it was for tv in the uk. How could we use it for tv here?

    Can the software tune the digital audio now broadcast by some FM
    stations?  Also are there any other devices with this chip in
them? Why buy one when you already have a device that will work? This sounds like fun. I'll have to see about getting one of
    these.  I can see one use for this.  If you're travelling away
    from home, leave one of these set up at home.  Then when you're
    out of town, you can connect to it and listen to radio from your
    hometown and keep up on local news.

    moin moin,

    build your own radio. I still listen to FM stations. This looks
    like a
    cool way to make that easier and more flexible.
