Where did MStar go?

We know that MStar was partially (or fully?) acquired by MediaTek.
For example HERE they describe something that sound very similar to our old MStars...
So it would be nice to know under what new processor models numbers/names they will be sold/marketed under....The same big shake-up in the competitive landscape of TV SOC market helps partly explain why MediaTek, Inc. acquired MStar Semiconductor. MediaTek of Taiwan signed an agreement to buy a range of 40% to 48% of MStar's outstanding shares in July...
For example HERE they describe something that sound very similar to our old MStars...
