Digital Europe in disarray.................................... ijumpstart.com Media Stock Review <Picture><Picture><Picture> BSkyB stock has fallen and it can't get up. News of its pending digital TV delay sent its stock reeling again as it fell 7 per cent to 382p last week. At its highest level, Sky shares were trading at 669p last year. Meanwhile, King World shareholders approved a two-for-one split of common stock last week and voted to double the number of shares to 150 million. Reports out of Germany say that Bertelsmann still can opt out of its deal with the Kirch Group. The deal still has not been finalised and looks to be in trouble with the European Commission. Meanwhile, investment bank Communications Equity Associates and Baring Private Equity Partners have created their third private equity fund - Baring Communications Equity (Emerging Europe) for the media and communications sectors. The fund raised more than $40 million at its first close Dec. 11, 1997. The fund's focus will be on the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia.

Hey, how do I plug this thing in?????????????????????????? directmagazine.com Unfortunately, most existing DSS receivers do not have D-VHS outputs. *Question of the Day Commonly asked questions about DSS. "I have heard of a new VCR called a D-VHS. Will it be compatible with my DSS?" D-VHS refers to Digital VHS. It is the latest in VCR technology. Tapes look just like regular videocassettes and D-VHS decks operate the same as a regular VCR except they record programs digitally. D-VHS is a perfect match for DSS because the DSS signal is digital. D-VHS decks that are compatible with DSS will soon be available from RCA, Hitachi and Hughes Network Systems. The decks record the actual DSS digital signal. Then when the tape is played back, it's "decoded" through a DSS receiver just like a satellite signal. This results in exceptional picture and sound quality. Unfortunately, most existing DSS receivers do not have D-VHS outputs.
