Mike, The Thomson digital STBs contain the enabling aspects of Gemstar's technology such as one button/touch record and tuning. Gemstar receives a royalty for each unit. These digital boxes do not incorporate a GuidePlus or similar advertising application but rather a native one. Each unit is advertising ready when the MSO and Gemstar reach a revenue sharing agreement. As to the TV-housed platform, the Thomson release indicates 400-500k. This is 3-4X the prior year's Q. It is difficult to be more precise because the initial 150k TV models were counted from the 11/98 launch to Q ending 3/31/99. Hope this helps. Regards Stew
