"I haven't seen any discussion on this thread about the potential of having Cube chips potentially powering the tens (hundreds?) of millions of digital TV sets themselves that will be sold in the beginning of the next century"

We've discussed it before, here's my last post on it.

HDTV would reqire MPEG2 not only in the TV sets, which are estimated to cost $2000 or so but there will be converter/settop boxes (ala Divicom). With the integration and cost reductions that DiviCube is focusing on in the settop market today, those boxes will cost less and sell faster than the HDTV's will in the begining.
At $300 vs $2000, no problem.
But I don't expect much here untill we get closer to the year 2000.

As Alex B. likes to point out. We're talking about a company that is participating new market. If you look at the potential of that market. Todays figures represent 1% of that market's potential going forward.

If Cube just survives without growing or shrinking its current percentage of market share, we're talking big money here.
