What will GMST have as handle on for two way data transmission if a TV set is not the essential terminal?

Assume that you, NY Stew and/or Mike Buckley and others may explain to me that my concerns are not worth worrying about.

Looking for some explanation of the hold GMST has on the internet delivery system - if any.


your point is well taken...here i rely on several studies and my own experience.

several studies have clearly shown that folks want the internet on their tv.
tv on the pc has been available quite inexpensively and not caught on.

my experience....i bought an all in wonder card some time ago...had tv on my pc...now i never use it. instead i keep a small tv on my desk.

i have always liked this hands on, check it out myself approach. have you gone to a store and spent 30 minutes with gemstar? have you tried tv on your pc? if not try it..it is an inexpensive way to check your own preference before you invest. i tried tv on my pcand did not like it...i bought a sony tv with gemstar and tried it and made sure my wife and i loved it before i invested.

gmst is not the conduit to the internet....but it will keep you organized when you have 100-500 channel choices. it may evolve into the conduit later...but that will not be necessary for gmst to be a screaming success.

nystew is the gmst expert...but i suggest everyone go to a sears or circuit city and learn how to use gmst. you will love it...i promise. i do and my kids and grandkids do. i have sat and watched them use gmst incessantly while watching tv. i have a bit of understanding of what pageviews are all about in terms of advertising revenue that is why i am heavily invested in gmst.

kick my butt if i am wrong. i do not promote gmst here, but i'll tell you that i am convinced that gmst will be bigger than aol or yahoo.

as part of my hands on approach..i ordered four different LED flashlights yesterday...when they get here i'll tell you what i think.
