Have you ever heard of anybody paying to announce items (before a crisis)
that compete with new devices but at 1/4 the price?
Somehow, you seem to have serious structural issues with understanding basic
economic concepts.
Today's $300 STBs will, after a bit more learning curve, and maybe removing
a few components, $100 STBs.
Consumer electronic items have 6 month product cycles nowadays. The chip
announcements at CEA this year will directly result in cheaper boxes. You
see, first you have widely available chips, then you have a product ...

2008 is only 10 months away. Has anyone at all announced any intentions
to make $50 - 70 digital-to-analog converter boxes yet that would
qualify for the rebate? Is there any sign at all that any specific
company might really do that?
