C-Cube can not buy back shares and use the "Pooling of Interest" accounting rules, if they planned to buy another company. C-Cube could use a lot of parts that they have not invested R&D in. It's cheaper to buy it. And the DVD/Settop boxes/DVR have a multitude of small chips in them. Each of those small chips will be consolidated on many fewer chips during the next few years. C-Cube can either license or buy the pattens. No stock buy back means that buying another company will happen.
