I would be remiss if I didnt remind all of you of one of SI's particular terms of use prohibiting certain types of action ...not to mention any other problems that might arise from the posting of copyrighted information.... "* Posting or transmitting third-party copyrighted information or in any way infringing on the intellectual property rights, contractual or fiduciary rights of others." me?! I could care less....but just something those of you who paste post after post after post of this kind of information might want to take into consideration. oh yeah...and in case you dont know.... to say "everyone does it" isnt going to cut it.... did it with your parents?! btw, posting the link gets around this..... (but not sure if pasting the article AND the link gets around it)

All Nokia settops are based on Beta Research's design(the d-box). Semens makes some of the front end................................. nokia.com Here's the PR.................. nokia.com NC connection..................... nokia.com d-box/MediaMaster........................ Multimedia Terminal for Digital Cable Services Nokia Mediamaster 9500 C / 'd-box' Cable (August 29, 1997) -- The cable version of the Nokia Mediamaster is identical to its satellite brother, with one exception - the front-end uses another demodulation technique, called QAM (Quadrature Phase Modulation) which is the standard set by the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) group. This transmission technique is optimal for cable TV use, where the bandwidth is limited compared to satellite transmissions. The Nokia Mediamaster 9500 C enables CATV homes to get access to all of the digital TV and radio programmes as well as the interactive services offered by the programme providers. A CD-ROM player as well as other computer peripherals can be connected to the data communication ports. The Nokia Mediamaster 9500 C can handle 16.- 256 QAM signals within a 2-10 MHz bandwidth transmitted via the standardised UHF band to fit any CATV distribution network. There is a built-in telephone modem designed for V22bis fax or V32bis protocols. This connection is used as the return channel for interactive services. Using the elegantly designed Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) the user can navigate throughout the services. So that with a home shopping channel, the user can select goods or items of his or her choice and then order them by pushing the buttons on the remote control. Signals are then sent via the telephone modem to the service provider who takes care of the order and delivers the appropriate products or services. The same scenario can be used for Pay-Per-View services. If the user decides to watch a sporting event, for example, they can confirm the service ordered by simply pressing the buttons on the Nokia hand-set and the programme is made available automatically. Downloading of new software is easily done, offering upgrading and new services to the end user as they become available. The application system resources are comprehensive with a RAM memory of 1 Mbyte (2 Mbytes extension) and a Flash memory of 1, 1.5 or 2 Mbytes depending on the version of the Mediamaster 9500 C. Deliveries of this box began in March '97 for the German speaking market, where the Kirch group is operating the DF-1 programme bouquet.
