Ah, i see. As long as it works as expected, things do look bright.

True.

That's quite a significant loss in investment for a STB manufacturer.

(Though it is not the first time that a vendor sees such things. At some 
point
of time the SAA716x PCIe chips were also in the same condition, but somehow
things got into a better shape, but vendors still afraid of the murky 
waters)

At least they could have revived it by just keeping the development 
stuff with
the Linux developer. Pity, that they took an insane turn.
