Stochastic 28 x 20, still lots of room for the upside. This is the start of the recovery, I'm not sure how much cube upside in the next 1 week would be. Hoping for a nice bounce though :) Here are some reasons why this is MORE than just short covering: 9:49 AM: BUY @16 1/2 22,000 shares 9:52 AM: BUY @16 1/2 15,000 shares rest of the day has been alot of small blocks trading, us small time investors buying I would guess :)

J.S., You mean that CUBE still may appear on some radar screens as a faint blip,as when Tinkerbell gives off that weak signal of flickering light in Peter Pan. On the usenet, when they argue over digital video they make reference to CUBE.... ww2.altavista.digital.com@116881@alt%2evideo%2elaserdisc%26c+cube An excerpt.... So lets look at the relative resolutions of 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i. We'll consider luminence resolution only Video Freq. Pixels painted Format Response in 30th of a second ------------------------------------------------------------------- NTSC 5 Mhz 240,000 480i component ~10 Mhz 240,000 720x525p (DVD) 22.6 Mhz 756,000 1280x750p 57.6 Mhz 1,829,000 1960x1125i 64.8 Mhz 2,205,000 Note that 480i component video takes a higher frequency response due to the higher chroma detail. So from this we see that the two best forms of HDTV are about an order of magnitute higher resolution than NTSC (that's 1000% not 15,000%). DVD through a progressive scan player offers a factor of 3 improvement over NTSC in pixels, and it is a factor of 2.5-3 worse than the higher resolution modes of DTV. So it falls nicely in the middle......

TCI has the headends and 1/2 the wires...................................... ijumpstart.com Following Though on the Boss' Promise: 7.4mln TCI Subs Poised for Digital <Picture><Picture><Picture> TCI [TCOMA] pres/COOLeo Hindery fulfilled his promise to market Digital Cable to at least half of his subs when he finished the year with 11th hour launches on Dec. 22 and 23. The 36-channel expanded lineup is now in front of more than 300 systems representing 7.4mln of the op's 14.3mln subs. Hindery had said in Q4 '97 that he wanted to market to ® to 2/3 of his customers and activate 70% to 90% of the op's headends for digital service by the end of 1997. As of Dec. 31, 100% of the headends had been activated, says the op's LaRae Marsik. TCI will resume its launches Jan 12 and hopes to reach 2/3 of its subs by the end of the winter, says Marsik.
