LindyBill, Gemstar looks terrific, except for the lawsuits! The courts are a risky business in this county, and the company is in real trouble if they lose a major suit. After reading your comments I salivated to reply but Mike pretty much summed it up with his response. Let me just add a few comments. Gemstar has agreements and relationships with many hundreds of CE OEMs, cable companies, broadcasters and publishers worldwide. The current legal issues can be characterized as Gemstar vs US Cable. This feud represents less than 10% of the global market. Gemstar is little known but it already has the de facto video recording standard in 40 countries. This is not their first time around the block, so to speak. You may want to look at this Gemstar European website and check the cross-industry relationships in the various countries. Gemstar already has an existing powerful franchise onto which it is building its second standard. Microsoft has paid them well with an attractive agreement to have access to this global network. Click "Publications" and "Manufacturer". gemstar.co.uk Regards Stew
