As per the above topic, does anyone know how many set top boxes (specifically terrestrial and not satellite) have sold?
Wikipedia says that as of Oct 09 it was estimated that 113,936 Freeview|HD set top box and IDTV's have sold, but nowhere can I find a figure on just set top boxes. A colleague told me that it was around 11,000 units.
The question came about as he was saying that it costs in excess of $25k to certify a box. A quick look at the freeview website shows 14 units, so that would mean that it's costing around $32 per unit that has been sold to date to get them certified, or, once you add vendor/distributor/retailer margins probably closer to $60 of what is paid per box is for certification. It just seemed like a lot
