STMicroelectronics is providing the chipset for Sirius Backseat TV, which is set to be launched later this year in select 2008 model Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles.

Manufactured by Delphi, the core of the in-vehicle satellite video receiver is based on three ST chips:

• The STA210 RF tuner IC
• The STA240 channel, service and source decoder IC
• and the STA264 advanced hierarchical demodulator chip, which extracts the video stream and performs error correction on the received signal.
  

ST is also the chip supplier for XM receivers, in addition to Sirius, and is now the world's leading supplier of microchip components powering digital radio receivers.
