BT has selected Philips to supply set top boxes. Every set top box will include a personal video recorder (PVR) capable of storing up to 80 hours of programming and capable of delivering High Definition content. The BT-Philips partnership builds on the recently announced alliance with Microsoft, which will provide Microsoft TV IPTV Edition as the software platform for BT`s TV over broadband service.

Europe`s biggest cable television operator UPC said on Monday it would start offering high definition television services in the Netherlands in the first half of 2006 with a set top box from Philips. The move puts UPC into the pioneering group of European operators moving to high definition television (HDTV), ahead of the soccer world championships in Germany next summer which will be broadcast in HDTV.

SIGM`s 8634 chip is the only IPTV chip that supports Microsoft`s IPTV platform in addition to dual HD stream support for MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV9 and VC-1 formats.

So in summary, it looks like Philips will be announced as a SIGM customer before too much longer, perhaps at the upcoming TelcoTV conference.
