Is there a competitive advantage to being the industry's smallest all-digital HD MPEG-4 set-top player? If there is, Amino Communications, a U.K.-based IPTV set-top manufacturer, claims their AmiNET130M MPEG-4 set-top is it.

According to a recent post at Multichannel News, Amino Communications, claims that their new HD set-top player, AmiNET130M, is 'the industry's smallest all-digital HD MPEG-4 set-top.' The AmiNET130M measures 4.48 inches wide and 1.37 inches tall. The set-top box features a HDMI connector but does not record digital video.

Amino expects to be able to charge 20% less than it does for other comparable units it sells such as the AmiNET130 HD box, because of the lack of analog connectors.

Are you itching for a 'tiny' HD video set-top box to go with your big-ass TV? We would love your feedback.
