Fewbucks: Agreed, its seems to me that standardization and flexibility are in the best interests of everyone, including consumer advocacy groups. I don't understand why some would perceive this as bad news for TVL and not for other V-chip companies. Perhaps the Soundview or P.G. boxes will be useful in a few years for de-coding video-tapes on old betamax machines or as an add on for defunct digital video formats,or in the case of model 0002 a collectors item. I invite everyone to post suggestions for alternative uses for V-Chip boxes that would not support future coding changes. (Paperweights?Planters?Just trying to be enviornmentally conscious!!) Perhaps we can come up with something useful for the other companies to generate revenue in the future.Kudos and bragging rights for the funniest answer. Lennox
