I suspect that many new digital settops will have cable modems. NLV pointed out in its last conference call that it is not a big deal to add a cable modem to a two way digital settop because most of the circuitry is already there. The settop has a receiver (to receive digital TV signals) and it has a transmitter (to send digital orders for pay per view etc.). If you use a DSP to handle the MOdulation and DEModulation (MODEM), for the digital TV signals, then it is not a big deal to reconfigure the DSP for the cable modem functions. Sorry I'm rambling on, John -- I know you don't need the tutorial.

But if you want to use the cable modem at the same time the kids are watching TV . . . well, we'll see how they handle that!
