In Orange case, I opened a previous livebox model and it was built by Sagem. The board also looked to be nice grade PCB manufacturing (to my noobish eyes at least, but you can tell by the materials, sturdiness, layout etc that it's not the cheapest by far).

Maybe they went for offshort design/manufacturing, that's plausible since most box~ are now mediacenters so basically 80% like any internet tv box on ebay.

Most of the various Livebox versions have been made by Sagem, I believe, but they have used others as well, such as Inventel and Thomson.

Don't know how custom the hardware is, but the firmware appears to be.
