Tony, RE: Just keep listening to Dan Niles. I think that, as the respect for him increases, he's able to get better inside info, somehow. Just remember to separate fact from opinion when listening to Niles. Niles is very good at ferreting out facts and reporting. His record with opinion is very poor.

Tony, I think the following is very interesting. Intel, Microsoft join alliance to push digital TV via PC By Bloomberg News August 21, 2000, 2:30 p.m. PT Intel, Microsoft and a dozen other companies are forming an alliance to promote digital-television broadcasts over personal computers. The group, whose members build everything from receiver cards and software decoders to viewers and antenna-selection guides, wants to raise awareness of new applications that will be available later this year. Digital-TV stations serve 64 percent of U.S. households today, though high-cost transceivers make it too expensive for most consumers, the members of the new group said. The alliance, called PC DTV Promoters Group, wants to help cut the cost and broaden the reach of digital broadcasts by pushing the PC as a medium to receive digital-TV signals. Intel's chips and Microsoft's software power the majority of the world's PCs. Other members include ATI Technologies, BroadLogic Network Technologies, Conexant Systems, Decisionmark, Hauppauge Computer Works, iBlast, InterVideo, Pinnacle Systems, Ravisent Technologies, Santa Barbara Software, SCM Microsystems and Wavexpress. The group will demonstrate broadcasts from local stations during the Intel Developer's Forum this week in San Jose, Calif. Copyright 2000, Bloomberg L.P. All Rights Reserved.
