Abstract
The market for digital satellite set top boxes continues to expand on a worldwide basis in 2004 due to increases in satellite pay-TV subscribers. Other factors include increasing set boxes per household in North America, swapping out boxes due to conditional access changes in Europe, new service launches in Asia, and the continued demand for digital FTA satellite receivers (Free to Air satellite receivers).

In this digital satellite set top boxes report we discuss the events influencing the digital satellite set top box market, new features being added, and how reductions in component costs are enabling less expensive boxes. Five-year digital satellite set top boxes forecasts of unit shipments, ASPs, revenues, and bill of materials are provided by region. We also look at the expected growth of HDTV and PVR boxes. We provide 2003 market share data for digital satellite set top box suppliers in a section on digital satellite set top box manufacturers.
