The Samsung STBs will be used for both Installs and replacements however each BU will have a set amount of these STB's. And it will be at the descretion of the BU where to place these. There are already problems with the Samsung STB software (CR3) but these are very early looks at the Samsung STB's. I don't see these boxes getting deployed until 2005. CR3 for Langley is in Associate trial testing soon and is due for completion in November. So if all goes well it could be out before Christmas however it may be Q1 2004 as handyman has said, as the Christmas Platform freeze may restrict the rollout. handyman, I will try and get some photos of the box with my digi camera that i took the remote with.
