It is my belief that the "waiting on the set top boxes" argument is a crutch, and creates speculation. It leaves a large back-door open for another delay in product roll-out; something that this company desperately needs to reassure investor confidence.

Would it not make perfect sense to roll out the product regardless of the quantity of viewers? I believe word-of-mouth advertising by those who "have" would say far more to those who "have-not" than any advertising campaign by any other media.

Think about it; why would a limited customer base affect the quality or desirability of a product? It wouldn't - do you think Dell waited to begin producing computers until he had an order for 2M computers? He would not be in business right now if he had.

I am long on this company - have been for quite a while, but severe damage has been done as a result of unachieved goals and another undelivered product just may put this stock back in the hole that it came from. We NEED this roll-out...soon.
