GIC story is interesting to see the various players make moves into the
set top arena. Myself I'm waiting for the PC boxmakers to enter the fray. Will Gateway, Compaq, Dell, etc just let this whole market pass them by?

Seems to me CSCO wouldn't have to buy GIC they just want to carry all the video stream that result.

The Comark site looks real nice. Check out the picture of that DIVI encoder........

comarkcom.com

Open Q) That LIN release mentioned HD encoders. DIVI has some sales soon as the thing is done. Are MV40HDs already out at some stations gettting tweaked just right?

Go DIVI.
