SAN JOSE, Calif., SHANGHAI and HONG KONG, May 5, 2010 – Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced it has completed its acquisition of the set-top box business of DVN (Holdings) Limited (SEHK: 0500).  Listed in Hong Kong with major operations in China, DVN is a market and technology leader in digital cable solutions in China and shares Cisco's vision of a high-performance, scalable and services-rich cable interactive platform extending into every home.
