I was talking more from point of view of opportunity there, I think
somebody having launch is probably not reason to get worried
because the game is still very much on, right. I just wanted to
know what incremental cost of a set-top box on HD with recording
facility relative to the normal set-top box that you are currently
rolling out and secondly, what is the estimate that you have on how
many television sets in India would be HD ready at this point in
time, if you can put any color please
Shubham, the pricing part and at what price are we going to buy
that is competitive information which we would like to reserve for
the time being. Mr. Salil Kapoor will answer your other question.
Salil: LCD and Plasma market for this year is estimated to be around 3
million sets and close to 50% of that would be HD. Safely around
1.5 million high definition sets will be rolled out in the market this
year. We can safely assume that there is about 0.5 million to about
three quarter of a million sets already lying, so it could be
somewhere around 2.25 million sets which are HD enabled out
there in the market.

Right okay thanks very much for the color.
Thank you. The next question is a follow up from the line of Rohit
Dokania from B&K Securities, please go ahead.
Thank you for giving this opportunity again. Just wanted to know
how many record and play set-top boxes would be there in the
market, this year basically
Only 20,000 have gone to the consumer’s home and the DTH
operators. The manufactured quantity must be around 1.5 lakhs.
