I guess I'd rather not talk about profit margins with professional
equipment, although the development costs can be significant. I suspect
you're in the ballpark on the BOM of the OEM, but "I suspect" that Enensys
has followed their general practice and put a label and shell on systems
made by others.
But, Ron, are you sure that those devices sell for as little as $1,000? The
Dektec FANTASI units(s) http://www.dektec.com/Products/Fantasi.asp which
generally compete in the same space as the Enensys USB, sell for $3000 and
more.
Enensys doesn't do much "wide scale" 8-VSB units; they generally sell into
R&D environments, in the DVB space. Not much business there, frankly. I
think their units are priced accordingly.
I know that I've been offered use of an eval Enensys DVB-ASI to USB device
in the past, and it "retailed" for $3,500.
John Willkie, who knows at least a bit more about Enensys than he is letting
on ...

Remember that the profit margins for broadcast equipment
are astronomical. Those Divicatch gadgets I mentioned
in my previous post sell for over $1000. I'll guess the
BOM cost is less than $100.
