See my previous post to PeterV. Looks like the Boca design is sans decoder. It's a glorified WebTV box. No indication that it will decode MPEG2, but it could since the Media Processor that is part of the design, can hook up to an external MPEG2 decoder. To me it doesn't make sense for AOL to include an MPEG2 decoder at this time in the basic box. The bigger audience is still viewing analog. A DirectTV version would have a decoder, but DirectTV doesn't use Cube in it's settop boxes. Phillips is simply the manufacturer and it doesn't follow that any TV/Settop box would have Cube in it. The connection to Cube in the AOL box is broken, or we're missing some piece of information.
