Infonetics: Cable STB Sales Perk Up in 1Q14; OTT Media Servers Set to Soar in China and Emerging MarketsCAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 1st quarter 2014 (1Q14) Set-Top Boxes and Pay TV Subscribers report, which tracks IP, cable, satellite, and digital terrestrial (DTT) set-top boxes (STBs), and over-the-top (OTT) media servers. ANALYST NOTE "There was a pocket of strength in the set-top box (STB) market in the seasonally weak first quarter. North American cable operators stepped up spending again on top of successive sequential revenue increases as they transitioned higher-end multiplay subscribers to headed and headless video gateways and replaced aging, power-hungry standard-definition boxes with more efficient high-definition boxes," says Jeff Heynen, principal analyst for broadband access and pay TV at Infonetics Research. Heynen adds: "A boost in overall STB unit shipments this year will come from an increase in over-the-top (OTT) media servers as service providers in China and other emerging markets use these devices to deliver live streaming TV."
