SRI Study Says Set-top Boxes Will Usher In DTV

Of the estimated 12 million worldwide consumers who will tune into Digital Television over the next 10 years, most will watch using set-top boxes that will accommodate multichannel broadcasts, according to a new study released by SRI Consulting of Menlo Park, Calif.

"I would say in the near term manufacturers should focus on developing a cheap way to get multiple channels out, and also receive them on a set-top box," said Paul Di Senso, senior consultant at SRI Consulting and lead researcher for the "Digital Broadcast Television" report.

Di Senso said the business model for multiplexing is far more credible than any for HDTV in the broadcast world, and he forecasts that high-def will not take off in the consumer marketplace before 2007. (SRI Consulting, 650/859-4205, sriconsulting.com)
