The set-top box is novel. Correct me if I'm
wrong; that hasn't been tried
before (unless you count the CD32), right?
Isn't that like saying that DVD-ROM is a novel way to store data on a
consumer electronics media (unless you count CD-ROM)?
Why wouldn't you count CD32? If they do a new set-top, and it fails, and
then they do a third, will you say that the third one is novel (unless you
count the first two)?
