SUMMARY
The cable set top box market is experiencing tough times, as many cable TV
operators have dramatically cut their capital spending. These cuts have
reduced all kinds of cable infrastructure equipment purchases, to include set
top boxes and other equipment positioned in the cable TV subscriber household.
However, even with a shrinking market and increasing competition from new
cable set top box manufacturers, most leading manufacturers are continuing to
develop new digital cable set top box products. Two of these new types of
boxes, the PVR-enabled cable set top box and the high-definition capable set
top box, are currently in high demand as a few cable operators continue to
introduce advanced interactive cable services.
This report examines the worldwide market for cable TV set top boxes, paying
special attention to manufacturers, technology trends, and the semiconductor
content of the boxes. It provides a cable set top box Bill of Materials
forecast, and updates both worldwide unit shipment & revenue forecasts through
2006.
