Abstract
This report is part of In-Stat' s continuous coverage of the set top box
markets. The digital satellite set top box market is the first and largest of
the digital set top box markets. Many of the boxes shipping today are more
than simple satellite receivers. They have HD decoders, hard drives for
digital video recording, and IP connections to access additional content via
an IP network.
There are a large number of satellite set top box vendors, some of whom focus
on providing boxes to the satellite pay-TV providers while others serve the
free-to-air market. Market shares are provided for the top five vendors.
In addition to five-year forecasts for worldwide box unit shipments, ASPs and
revenues segmented by region, this report also contains forecasts for SD boxes
with hard drives, HD boxes with hard drives, and HD boxes without hard drives.
As part of In-Stat' s discussion of satellite set top box technology, five-year
bill-of-materials forecasts are provided for basic, HD, and DVR boxes along
with a semiconductor total available market (TAM) forecast.
