Motorola also unveiled the Mobile TV DHO1, a DVB-H pocket-sized live TV player with DVR, a 4.3 inch screen and four hours of rechargeable battery life. Motorola starts selling DH01 this month to broadcasters, service providers and retailers, said Venkat Eswara, senior marketing manager for application services. For cable operators, Motorola announced the DCX series of MPEG-4 set-top boxes, supporting HD, DVR and surround sound. All models use a 1 GHz tuner and are backward compatible with MPEG-2. HD models can output up to 1080i through HDMI and component cables; they also have pass-through support for 1080p, said Rob Folk, product management director for Motorola’s Digital Video Solutions business. The DCX series will be available Q3 2008. Motorola will also show CES the SURFboard SBV5422 Digital Voice Modem and Integrated DECT Cordless Phone System. The device combines two cordless VoIP phone lines with a cable broadband modem and lets users access e-mail, check the weather and send and receive SMS text messages. Consumers can configure the device using a handset; previous versions required a PC.
