Motorola, Comcast Extend Set-Top Agreement

Motorola Inc. and Comcast Corp. have expanded their multiyear purchase agreement for digital set-tops, the companies said at the 2007 International CES in Las Vegas.

Under the expanded agreement, Comcast will purchase several set-top models from Motorola, including dual-tuner, high-definition DVRs and all-digital cable receivers. These digital set-tops will support Comcast's Residential Network Gateway (RNG) specification along with the Open Cable Application Platform (OCAP) initiative, the companies said. Some models will support Motorola's Follow Me TV platform and Motorola's Linux-Java software platform.

Specific models will be compliant with government-mandated separable security, including CableCARD technology.
