In this video in the middle you see the digital tv

this would require a dvb-t or dvb-h tuner plus antenna, so i dont think flashing this firmware would help anything.

Samsung should have aplied that tuner to every phone, i will not watch TV at the cellphone, but is frustrating that i bought mine already.

it will have a SBTVD (also called ISDB-T) receiver, as is said here: http://blog.jaldomir.com.br/noticias...ente-entre-nos

There is a multiformat decoder on the market, but its from Analog Devices. I doubt that Samsung uses this third party chipset but will use its own as they are specialized in ISDB-T. So i guess this handset will not decode DVB-H and will only be usable in South America and the Philippines.
I also guess they do this because TV usage is much higher in e.g. Brasil than anywhere in Europe. DVB-H was launched to much fanfare a couple of years ago but nobody uses it. Does any newly released handset have it any more? Some carriers offer streaming TV programs over their data network but there is just no demand for it.

It is true . Galaxy S at Brazil + digital tv .

Isn't this the most amazing phone series we've ever seen?

It's a pity that we don't have an equivalent model here in Europe - It would be awesome to watch TV everywhere (even if I had to pay extra 100Eur) - it would really be a ALL-IN-ONE device.
