New Codec Supports

Yes it looks like the Sigma ( http://www.sigmadesigns.com/products.php?id=137) is a SoC (system on a chip) so it IS the main CPU. But it also has surrounding DSPs on board to do other stuff like the audio/video decoding. So its like Russian dolls, just rename the outer doll to the Sigma and my above analyis sort fits! Though which CPU core they are using is not made clear on the site.

Interesting the Play had different chipset, I guess they were trying to reduce box hw and sw costs substantially. Didnt work though as it didnt sell enough to continue with so ditched - I guess.

The TV Live should be established 2K level TV that is bread and butter mainstream now. I just wished the darn software in the middle was!
