Demand for digital cable set top boxes continues to be strong in 2006. An increasing number of cable TV operators around the world are ordering and deploying cable set top box products, particularly in conjunction with digital cable video service and with new high-definition and interactive TV services.
This year’s rise in demand comes after the digital cable set top box market experienced a record year in 2005. Led by increasing demand from North American cable TV operators and new deployments by Chinese TV cable operators, total worldwide unit shipments last year reached 15.5 million, an increase of 44% over 2004.
