Joseph,

We agree.

I can summarize your points in 3:

a) all technology eventually comes down in price, sooner or later.

b) there was no need to produce digital tuners in volume, reason by which economies of scale did not
have the chance to bring the price down.

c) the few $600 integrated sets are evidence that their tuner can not cost the $500 average charged
on larger sets, when they perform the same function.


I do not see the reason for your email to be presented as an argument of my email, it is exactly
what I am saying.


It is very obvious that manufacturers abused of the mandate to make a large profit because all of
their sets HAVE to have them with the blessing of Big Brother, and all of them found an opportunity
to make money for 2004 and 2005 large sets since there was no competition nor pressure for
"integration at low cost", so they all kept milking in harmony, what a deal, and they will bring the
prices down, in harmony, but no rush.

I met at Display Search a manufacturer of HDTV chips (ironically from Germany, not Asia), he was
able to supply the complete chip-set for $15 before the mandate, including the MPEG-2 decoder and
all the components, the TV manufacturer charged us consumers average $704 in 2004, and average $500
on the 2005 models.

The industry abused from this mandate and was not cost sensitive to consumers, the FCC must have
planned this better before making mandates, and agree it is a dead horse, and for that reason I do
not want to hear anymore unsubstantiated claims that integrated tuners were/are cheap to consumers.

Best Regards,

Rodolfo La Maestra

Obviously Rodolfo, this touches a nerve with you. My observations of the CE
industry over the years, coupled with observation of new product roll out,
and substantial price decreases in a short amount of time due to new,
consolidated and dedicated chip sets, leads me to the conclusion that
developing and manufacturing a chipset for digital tuning at a much lower
price than has been is not a fantasy or dream. As I pointed out, the
satellite industry created vastly superior product at prices that now allow
the product to be "given" (subsidized by subs, of course, but with a quick
return) away. Remember the BUDs? That was not very long ago, and look at the
prices then. If it were not for technology improving, and getting cheaper
due to research and volume, we would not have the sat industry we have
today. Look at the HD sat boxes that have HD sat and OTA, and the prices on
them now, even without that much volume being produced. How about Faroudja
and its products now vs. only a couple of years ago? Look what chipsets did
for them, and for prices. Go back in time to PLL tuner circuits before and
after dedicated chipsets. How about the price drops in CD players? DVD
players? Look at today's computers, Wi-Fi modems, etc. etc., including new
video cards with HD tuners. Look, even, at cable HD boxes and rental costs.
All these things came down quickly in price, and improved dramatically just
as quickly.

Yes, my argument is based on speculation, observation, gut feeling. But it
is also based on real life experiences of product development and roll outs.
As there was no "need" to produce digital tuners, and they were a "high end"
product, mfgs. could milk that market for a while, much as they do with any
new product and technology intro. A great example is all the Sony Qualia we
keep discussing here, and the new sets based on that technology. From
discussion here it appears that the new sets are improved over the
$12,000(?) set we saw at CES, are much less (1/2?) in cost, and its only
been, what, maybe 5 months since they have been available for sale?

So no one mfg. felt the need to develop a tuner chipset for a low cost as
the numbers were not there, no govt. mandate was there, too many variables
in HD standards, very little programming, and so many other reasons.

These are my opinions and observations. This discussion is now becoming moot
as we see $600 HD TVs with installed HD OTA tuners. I suggest we no longer
discuss this anymore as it is a dead issue due to the obvious.

Robert,

Your three statements:

"You have forgotten more about HDTV than I will ever know," What did
actually mean with this?

"The manufacturers will not raise these prices. They want to sell these
sets." I suggest you read
and research more about the overall industry, not just one small direct-view
set at Target.

Manufacturers "did" increase their integrated set prices but did it in a way
that was not easy to
discern what was the cost of what new feature/technology, and now, thanks to
the mandate for no
monitors, it is not possible to establish the differences because of the
lack of monitor versions on
40+ sizes.

Regarding earlier emails (" I haven't read every email. Please bring me up
to date on the issue"),
they are all there if you care to save them, a search by "integrated" within
your saved Tips would
get you the information you are asking. I believe that is of better service
for me to invest the
time to help on subjects we did not cover already.





Robert and Joseph,

There are subjects that lend themselves to opinion and argument, there are
others that are not that
flexible but numeric interpretation could provide some room for discussion,
there are others that
numbers themselves establish such a clear position that do not give much
room for arguing that part
of the equation, this is one of those.

The data I provided about the subject is sourced from actual MSRP of dozens
of main stream companies
on ALL of their lines since the tuner mandate started its implementation for
36" and larger, this is
not Mr. Joe-blow estimate and his opinionated statements in the XXX journal.

Please read the 2004 CES report (pages 16-21) or the HDTVetc Magazine
article dedicated to that, the
CES 2004 has been free for long (if you care to read), it takes a lot of
effort to collect the data,
analyze the entire HDTV industry, and provide a summary based on numerical
facts and actual
products, if you find any other well sourced factual information that
provides a different view let
us discuss that factual information, until then I feel is on the best
interest of everyone for me
not repeat information I already provided to respond to statements that do
not match the reality of
the HDTV industry.

Rodolfo La Maestra

Rodolfo,

Though I generally agree with you, I am of mixed opinion on this. I do feel
that the mfgs. could have produced an acceptable digital tuner at a
reasonable a few years prior if they really needed (notice I did not say
wanted) to. A chip to do just that could have been developed easily enough,
but the resistive force has been two fold: not enough demand (hence volume),
and no need. As a result, companies could charge outrageous prices because
digital tuners were "cutting edge/high tech/new technology/very
special/etc-fill in what you want here as a marketing justification to over
charge". One only needs to look at the lowly satellite box, a giveaway now,
that has so much digital technology that was only available for outrageous
sums a few years earlier. No, there was no govt. mandate for sat boxes, but
there was on the business side if the sat cos. were to be a viable,
competitive player vs. cable. It is truly amazing the technological jump in
equipment, and the precipitous drop in price, for sat in just a very short
time.

My feeling is that tuners could have, and still can be, included for much
less had there been a need. But the other side of the coin is there is still
not much need as most use something other than antenna to get TV. Should
there be a need for OTA in an emergency, most people would not be able to
use it as they do not have any sort of antenna laying around the house.
