My initial reaction would be to limit the STBs to one brand during the trial phase if I were supervising the rollout. Once the infrastructure has been solidly tested then adding the variable of different STBs should be much easier. According to SFA, their current deals are with MSOs who encompass 17 million subscribers, right? Well, we all know that many will not move to the new STB for quite a while or until such a point where they are forced to do so. I would guess that it will be many years before more then 50% of the potential subscribers are actually using new STBs. Even at 50,000 STBs per week, it would take 340 weeks to distribute 17 million boxes. Michael
