I'm glad to hear the info, but while it's also killing me not knowing what's happening, don't get too excited by the talk of set top boxes. They may pan out and be the Coming Thing, but a month or two isn't going to make much of a difference, especially if Samsung buys C+. Samsung (like everyone else) is already working on alliances and deals with cable systems to try and get them to push Samsung's product on their customers, but it's still going to be a while before any of these things show up in significant market penetration, and whoever goes first is going to run into all the obvious mistakes that are only apparent from a product in the field, paving the way for everyone else. -R
