Thanks to all for some very useful postings about the Gem this morning. Focussing in on the SFA and GI/MOT legal actions, which both involve the STARSIGHT EPG, it is my understand that these suits are identical and are partitioned into seperate actions related to ANALOG and DIGITAL cable boxes. This means there are actually four lawsuits against,

GIC for ANALOG: settled in GMST's favor by arbitration
SFA for ANALOG: headed for court?

GIC for DIGITAL: arbitration pending?
SFA for DIGITAL: headed for court?

The questions I'm wrestling with are,

Should the SFA/ANALOG suit make it to court, would the arbitration ruling in gmst's favor in the GIC/ANALOG action be admissable or considered by the court?

Since the arbitration panel already ruled in favor of GMST in the GIC/ANALOG issue, wouldn't the GIC/DIGITAL decision be a slam dunk? If so, why hasn't MOT settled yet?
