Mark,
In order to answer this question, you have to get LG to tell you why their
prototype STB that used their fifth generation chipset performed so very
well for you, for Mark Schubin (did I get the spelling right, Mark?) and for
others, yet the several companies that created prototypes from this same LG
chipset performed the same or only slightly better than previous generation
receivers.
LG will never tell, so your question cannot be answered until we know what
RF front end "secret sauce" was used in the prototype that nobody else can
reproduce.
