Many of us share your frustrations, but the delay is the encoding by broadcasters.
Why should V-Gis be rushed, if it won't work as it's supposed to? There may or may not be some packaging problem, but that's not the issue. When consumers start asking for decoders, and the demand is obvious, retailers will be more willing to finally finalize these deals rumoured about. Consumers will only ask once their awareness level increases, but this won't happen until the stations start promoting the ratings system, and the V-Gis marketing campaign is in full swing. But of course, the broadcasters won't promote anything until they're good & ready to encode. (I don't think anyone is paying them for the airtime used to promote ratings, so why would they not wait until the last possible minute? They all hate the whole v-chip thing anyway!)
Now all that TVL can do is wait for full encoding, and make sure they are ready to deliver the second Ingram issues them the PO.
In anticipation of the sales potential, they are building a stronger management team, with seasoned professionals, of which most of us don't care about since the news didn't push up the price. Well, IMO the new appointments are positive signs of a company bracing itself for an influx of sales and growth in their near future.
Either these big-wigs all fell for a scam, or they actually see potential in TVL over the long term.
