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.
