Andy:
I just wanted to point out that the DTT chip will also be used in TVs. Also they said they were shipping to lead customers. Also I think DTT must begin this year in Europe (don't quote me)
Now your eyes can light up.
I pay no attention to the market's reaction - LSI is too big and too diversified and in the big-time dog-house for one chip with maybe no more than $10-$20 million in revenues this year (if that).

Tidbit (LSI involved pretty heavily in DVB chips - check the "plan" out - from LSI Web Site - so they did have a chip for cable...):
The LSI Logic Consumer Products Division has defined the DVB line of products as strategic. In the last few years, LSI Logic has developed and successfully put on the market a variety of satellite (L64706, L64705, L64704, L64724) and cable (L9A0054, L64768) chips, as well as transport de-multiplexing and CPU components (L64007, L64008), and MPEG2 decoders (L64002, L64005). Digital terrestrial solutions are the third family of front end chips, of which the L64780 is the first element. LSI Logic will continue on the way of integration toward a single chip including ADC, COFDM demodulation and FEC.
