Re: New set-top boxes?

The chances of them being identical are very slim, simply because there will always be those customers in Langley regions whose boxes use a different return path technology. There are quite a number of them out there

At the customer level, they will look and behave the same, but behind the scenes things will be different.

There are. The three networks are already quite intertwined, but there's still some way to go to full integration.
Indeed, it would involve changing all the STBs that are not compatible with the unified system to the newer Samsung 2110s beforehand!

Thanks for the info - most interesting.
