Broadcom's new SoC will shrink HD DTAs

We don't often remark upon the lowly Digital Transport Adapter but it may be due for an upgrade, or at least the "DRINK ME" treatment now that Broadcom has announced a single chip solution for HD DTAs. The first of its kind, it combines HD video, cable tuner and HDMI capabilities in a new, smaller form factor. Many of you will need one for primary or secondary televisions as cable providers keep scraping for bandwidth, so consider yourself on alert another round of passionless unboxings coming soon.
