Technotrend design/make it. I talked to both companies at the IBC show. They both agree they work closely together. But the exact relation ship they are coy on.

Technisat are more going into set boxes and integrated TVs. Technotrend design and PC products, but more self marketing and less OEM, (except obviously the close "connection" with Technisat).
