It also means that they can eliminate dual Analog-to-MPEG2 Encoders in a 
somewhat lower cost "all digital" Dual Tuner DVR and one Encoder in an 
"all-digital" STB.

The local Comcast people tell us that they want to provide all programming

MPEG encoder chip inside the STB to compress the noisy analog signal in the 
home.
