GI recalls settops................................ multichannel.com GI Must Recall Boxes New York -- Motorola Inc.'s newly acquired General Instrument Corp. unit has had to recall at least 37,000 of its popular "DCT-2000" digital set-tops because of a defective component that made them inoperable, cable sources said. The boxes in question were shipped to cable operators in recent weeks, and they were manufactured in the fourth quarter of last year, Motorola senior vice president David Robinson has confirmed. GI has the identification numbers of the faulty boxes, and earlier this month it began notifying cable operators that had received them about the problem. The notice said the boxes "are not able to be fielded due to a performance issue with the Intel [Corp.] flash component" and, as a result, "they will not be able to properly receive code downloads." GI said the boxes had to come back for a "memory performance upgrade," one operator source said, reading from the notice. - 1/14/00
