Hello Pheonix,

It seems that only CBS? and possibly FOX? have begun encoding broadcasts. This is the one thing holding back TVL's retail sales.
TVL, through Ingram, has retailers lined up at the door, but they have to wait for the broadcasters to begin encoding. That way, they will be selling a product that works and won't have a customer service nightmare.

PG has been known for alot of hype so if they are doing what thier lastest news releases indicates, then 1) it can only help to get broadcasters to encode, 2) it is hard to say to what extent they will be marketing product ie. # of units, # of cities, # of retailers etc.
As for Acacia... what product?

Louie
