Oceania Set-top Boxes

The set-top box industry involves any product, process, manufacturing, sales or marketing involving set-top boxes. Set-top boxes connect to a communication device channel that acts as a signal to project output on a display screen. Signal sources may include a telephone line, Ethernet cable, DSL connection, satellite dish, or other signal sources. Set-top boxes range in devices that can unscramble a TV signal to those that act as a desktop computer. Set-top boxes also are able to provide video-on-demand, video conferencing and high-speed internet television services.

Rather than purchase from manufacturers directly, set-top boxes come through content providers. Often these are included in set-up fees or are included in installation fees. Revenue generated by set-top boxes sales is dependent on innovations in technology. Consumers have the opportunity to control and customize a variety of different devices.
