You confuse me with someone making an argument in favor of DVB-T. You are pointing to a $50-retail box of which, according to your figures (higher ones are also published), half would be IP costs.


I point to readily available inexpensive analog TV sets, some of which currently retail for less than your IP costs.

As the old joke goes, will they make it up on the volume?

TTFN,
Mark

Once again, the issue is the IP fees.

Mark, I thought we had established that those are about $23.

If $16 are for the MPEG-2 decoder, as has been suggested in the past,
then the majority of the IP fees apply equally to DVB-T boxen.
