Yes, STBs are now made by Cisco. It is my understanding that at&t is switching to them - increased reliability is what I was told. They are definitely smaller than the old Comcast Motorola STBs.

Both Cisco & Motorola receivers are out there. Which model you get depends on which market you are in. The Chicago & Atlanta markets are the only 2 that launched Moto & then switched to Cisco. Any markets that launched before Chicago & Atlanta still use Motorola Boxes, and any market that launched after Chicago & Atlanta use Cisco boxes.

All things being equal, the 2 makes are practically identical. The Cisco boxes are slightly smaller, but other than that, they run the same software, same inputs & outputs, same functionality, same interface -- very similar equipment.
