Lola here is my simplemans read on the Patent issue and links
The other systems use a primitive revamped closed caption type system that reads a code to blank out. The signal is broadcast on Feild one line 21 of the Verical Interval (THE little black bar you see when your vertical hold is out of whack)the same as closed captioning.The competition(Parental Guide and Acacia Research) systems like TVL's system detect the codes and blank it out.(Audio and Video)TVL's is the only patented ADRESSABLE system. This means that when ratings change The FCC and Clintons office are already talking about this)
only TVL's will be able to change with them. Canada's ratings or China's ratings system will be different again from USA's only TVL chip will be able to adress these changes.Here are some links. Hope this helps.
