I was pretty keen on TVL but after rethinking it, I sold my stock.

The real value of TVL's V-chip is it's programmability (as ratings change, they can change the controls). I do not see the ratings changing any time soon. In the mean time, other methods can be developed to accomplish the V-Chip's function. If a TV receiver had processors, and were capable of receiving software TVL's V-chip would become obsolete.

I recently got a digital set top box for TV. These boxes have an internal processor which can interpret software such as Java, C++, etc. In the future, I do not see why manufacturers wouldn't put a processor in televisions which could perform many functions including the function of the V-chip.

I am neither long or short on TVL and IMHO I see no long term potential for TVL.
