Thick client set-tops continue to face an uphill fight. Though the cover chart shows that HD set-tops are edging into the market, the only maker that specializes in thick set-tops, Sony, is shipping the least amount of units overall. This number will only go down as the major customer for heavy boxes, Cablevision, has stepped away from the technology.
