If Zenith is providing the chipset, would that be a likely contract for CUBE?

Good question. I would not say that it is a "likely" contract, just a "possible" contract. Zenith used CUBE in the BellSouth DTV boxes, and LG used CUBE in its DVD players. However, LG apparently has an MPEG2 chip set that it showed in its prototype HDTV. My guess is that LG would like to use its own MPEG2 chip, but it is not ready for prime time. In order to get its product to market, LG will use a commercially available MPEG2 chip, which "hopefully" is CUBE. Remember, INTC had been talking software MPEG2 decode, but lately it has been noticably silent on this point.
