According to DigiTimes, CyberHome Entertainment has stopped shipping DVD recorders to CyberHome USA. This was due to overdue payments caused by US customs confiscating 20,000 of their DVD recorders back in June.
CyberHome Entertainment (formerly named Protop Innotech), a leading maker of DVD recorders in Taiwan, on August 4 announced it has temporarily stopped shipments of DVD recorders to its largest client CyberHome USA due to overdue payments arising from the confiscation by the US customs authority in June of 20,000 DVD recorders imported by CyberHome USA.
CyberHome USA sells DVD recorders under its CyberHome brand name with CyberHome Entertainment being a major shareholder in the company, according to industry sources. Philips asked the US customs authority in California to confiscate 20,000 DVD recorders with a market value of US$2 million due to infringement on the company's patents, the sources pointed out.
