Part of the current Verkaufsforderpaketes background information and training presentations are for internal distribution and external customer training web banner and email advertising templates for USB Internet radio, PC-TV and DVB-T (digital video broadcasting terrestrial) products. A particular focus of the current program is located on the dynamic market for DVB-T products, so the market for solutions to the antenna reception of TV signals to the PC. The documents are now free in German and English language to obtain the MANHATTAN homepage (www.manhattan-products.com) or directly from IC INTRACOM in Halver. Market North America enters the free-to-air TV on the digital ATSC DVB-T signal, in some other countries it is already used. Europe has already completed the stage to the digital DVB signal.

Nevertheless, here analog technologies have yet their importance. Regardless of the PC TV tuner market grows up an average of 11 percent per year since 2005.
