Abstract
A set top box comprises multiple antennae (15) are positioned outside the periphery of the printed circuit board (5). The antennae can be vertically oriented (15V) or horizontally oriented (15H). The antennae (15) are maintained at least 20 mm from a heatsink (6) and the printed circuit board (5) to prevent electrostatic discharge. The set top box includes vents (14) in the bottom frame (2) outside the periphery of the printed circuit board (5) to promote heat dissipation.
