I went to the MOT website looking for the DCT 5000.
Nothing.
I went looking for STB?s and found this page:

Motorola / Sarnoff Breakthrough Technology Solutions for HDTV
The best integration of design complexity, scalability and image quality.
 conserves memory space and bandwidth
 scales in performance
 less expensive to implement
 greater stability
Scaled versions of HDTV images can be displayed on standard NTSC legacy receivers. Software control allows either a 16:9 aspect ratio Letter Box or further conversion to a 4:3 aspect ratio. The chipsets allow decoding of all 18 ATSC formats for display on SDTV or NTSC monitors using a minimum of external DRAM (4MB).
Programmable MPEG-2 Decoder - uses proprietary algorithms to scale the decoder and control video quality versus 4, 8, or 16 MB of external memory. Picture quality is matched to display capability for best picture with minimum memory.
Memory reduction technology can scale to HD image presentations without noticeable image degradation - allowing HD images to be decoded with 8 MB of external DRAM.
All Digital VSB Demodulation -
The all digital VSB demodulation stands apart from alternative implementations.
All digital means fewer external components (no external VCXO nor D/A converter). Less cross talk sensitivity, and minimal PCB routing constraints.
IF Down Conversion and Symbol Recovery are all processed in the digital domain on the same chip as equalization, Viterbi and FEC.
Next to this verbiage, there is a Digital Set-Top box graphic on which I clicked:
Digital Set-Top Box Solutions
Applications for Digital Set-Top Boxes include the support of Digital Satellite, Cable, and Terrestrial platforms. The block diagram displays the various systems and serves as a gateway to the parts involved.
The block diagram referenced above has a smart card component on which I clicked. Here?s where it took me?
Atmel Corporation, founded in 1984, is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of advanced semiconductors, including advanced logic, nonvolatile memory, mixed signal and RF integrated circuits. Atmel is one of the elite new companies capable of integrating dense nonvolatile memory, logic and analog functions on a single chip. Atmel chips are manufactured using the most advanced wafer processes, including BiCMOS, CMOS and Silicon Germanium (SiGe) technologies.

This is our playing field, and the circle is getting tighter. Can you feel it?
Thanks...DooWop
