[opendtv] 20040526 Wolfsson's Wednesday Words (Mark's Monday Memo)
- From: Mark Schubin <tvmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- To: Multiple Addresses Suppressed <tvmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Wed, 26 May 2004 22:45:32 -0400
- Follow-ups:
- Unlicensed operation in the TV broadcast bands - The 38-page Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking has been released by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). It's interesting reading, with many safeguards
proposed (including the need for an unlicensed transmitter to receive a
control signal from a broadcaster before being allowed to transmit in an
adjacent channel and possible GPS location identification for fixed
transmitters) and certain channels (2-4, 14-20, 37, and 52-69)
considered off-limits for different reasons. It also addresses the issue
of interference to wireless mics:
<http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-04-113A1.pdf>
- Unavailability of HD TiVo - It still seems to be an issue, based on
correspondence I've received.
- AVC licensing - MPEG LA has come out with what they call their final
terms (that would be in addition to the Via Licensing terms, which
represent different patents). Not being a lawyer and not having seen the
actual license agreement, I hesitate to comment, but it looks workable
to me based on the press release. Here are some tidbits:
- The term "free television AVC video" now has a broader definition.
- The "one-time fee option" offered to Japanese broadcasters now appears
to apply to all broadcasters, but I'm not sure whether "one-time" means
once or once-per-license-term.
- The first term runs through 2010. Renewable five-year terms will
follow with increases limited to 10% per renewal:

- Peter Putman conducted some testing with recent DTT receivers and
antennas and concludes that "off-air DTV reception has gotten a lot
easier [but] its still not 100% plug and play....":
<http://www.hdtvexpert.com/Pages/squareshot.htm>
- International H/DTV news:
- The 10-channel UK pay-TV DTT service Top-Up TV claimed 20,000
subscribers in its first month (considerably more than either USDTV or
Voom). They say their break-even is 250,000 and believe there are
800,000 old onDigital/ITV Digital boxes in the field that can be used
with their service:
<http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,14173,1220765,00.html>
- Freeview, the non-pay UK DTT service, reportedly hit 3.7 million
households at the end of March:
<http://www.dtg.org.uk/latest/latest_freeview_progress.htm>
- DTT copy controls are raising a ruckus in Japan:
<http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=feature&id=664>
<http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nb20040525a2.htm>
- Japan plans DTT to mobile phones beginning autumn 2005:
<http://neasia.nikkeibp.com/wcs/leaf/CID/onair/asabt/fw/307637>
- Electronic Engineering Times has an article on DTT to mobile phones in
Europe (hinting that the system could also be used in the U.S.
(out-of-band):
<http://www.eet.com/sys/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=20900259>
- Some 160,000 DTT receivers have been sold since January in Italy,
where prices are said to be among the highest in Europe (220 Euros/$266
at today's conversion rate), second only to Spain (229 Euros). Those in
the UK average 128 Euros, but the article says those in Germany are 207
Euros, whereas the next item says they're just 80:
<http://www.dtg.org.uk/news/world/-italian_dtt_roll.htm>
- The latest list of DTT receivers in Australia has 33, of which only
five can handle HDTV. The least-expensive HD model is A$699 (US$494);
the least expensive SDTV model is A$199 (US$141):
<http://www.dba.org.au/index.asp?sectionID=18>
- DTT in Germany this week expanded to Bonn, Bremen, Cologne, and
Hanover. Set-top boxes are said to cost 80 Euros ($97):
<http://www.dw-world.de/english/0,3367,1432_A_1209838_1_A,00.html>
- Those wonderful spell-checkers department: Euros are indicated by a
symbol that looks like a majuscule C with an equals-sign through it,
thus ¬ (for those of you with appropriate software). Screen Digest's
E-Cinema Alert #132 notes that the HDTV satellite service Euro1080
appears as a price of 1080 Euros even on the organization's own web
site! It looks fine to me, so maybe it was the observer's software:
<http://www.screendigest.com>
- Based on figures from CEA, sales of VCRs to U.S. dealers were down
68.3% for the first 18 weeks of 2004 compared to the same period in
2003, and, for the first time factory sales of TV/DVD combos exceeded
those of TV/VCR combos). Non-H/DTV direct-view TV sets were UP 1.8%. My
ten-week running average for them was down 6.6% (it was a rough week).
So-called "Digital Television" sales to U.S. dealers for the 18th week
were 53,259 units. For the first 18 weeks of the year, there were
1,337,669 units. "Digital Televisions" (most of which are HDTV displays
without DTT-reception capability) accounted for about 14.8% of the TVs
(not counting plasma or direct-view LCD) sold to U.S. dealers so far
this year. It may be worth noting here what that means. Over 85% of the
non-plasma, non-direct-view-LCD TVs sold so far this year were still
plain non-H/DTV direct-view TVs with picture tubes.
To qualify as a "Digital Television," a display need only be capable of
dealing with at least 480p; it need not be capable of either receiving
digital signals or displaying them. Devices actually capable of
receiving DTT signals were still a small fraction of those numbers.
I am not permitted to release the week-19 figures until June 1, so I'll
delay next week's memo.
- NPD has a new report, "Taking Stock: The Consumer Perspective on
Television Ownership," based on a sample of 7630 adults surveyed between
March 15 and 25. Among the findings are these:
- Projection TVs represent 9% of those being sold to consumers, LCDs 6%
and plasmas 1%.
- For projection TVs, there is 6% penetration for those earning under
$50,000 per year, 19% above $100,000/year.
- 27% of LCDs are 24-to-29-inch, 26% 40-to-49-inch:
<http://www.npd.com/press/releases/press_040518.htm>
- Ads for set-top DTT receivers: I saw none this week.
- The ads - Best Buy was offering a portable DVD/LCD combo (Mintek
MDP-5860) with the purchase of any "digital TV $1499.99 & up" and a
handheld LCD TV (Casio TV-980) with the purchase of an TV $599.99 to
$1499.98. Circuit City has gone back to seeming to call all LCD TVs
"digital."
If the "Major Brand Name" at Fry's in Dallas is the same as that at
Fry's in Los Angeles, then there's a $398 premium for the integration of
DTT-reception circuitry.

- DVD news:
- According to CEA, sales of DVD players to U.S. dealers for the first
18 weeks of 2004 were up 1.9% over the same period in 2003. My ten-week
running average was DOWN 7.9%. The glory days of double-digit growth
seem gone forever.
- According to NPD Techworld, Cyberhome was the number-one brand of DVD
player sold in March, followed by Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, and Apex.
Those five brands accounted for more than half the sales to consumers at
electronics/appliance stores, AV specialty stores, and mass merchants:
