TM, TM, TMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I not only disagree with you, but people who I know that do know more than you disagree with you. Oracle? I guess you are unaware that the Oracle video server software runs on the Sun Media server (canceled and out of production as of mid year 1998). You must also be aware that CCUR replaced this duo (even though Sun is a technology partner with them) in the Intertainer system. When Intertainer comes public later in 1999, it will be a smoking hot IPO. These dummies chose CCUR over Sun or SGI or Ncube. Have you ever done any homework in your life about the competition. Read about how Ncube can spit out 20,000 streams. They don't say interactive streams. They did it in a lab with a simulated 20,000 televisions. As for Diva, we all know they have a great server that performs and delivers VOD. Ken was our first reliable source from the Atlanta show on Diva. If Diva can make there business plan work with a debt load that will ballon to near half a billion, only a 50% share in the revenue and they provide the equipment, than every MSO in the country is going to make a killing with a cheaper system, no revenue split and equipment purchases out of existing plans for capital expenditures.

Wow TM, I read your post again and gained even more insight. Your excuse for saying CCUR couldn't stream is because they advertised 300 streams? Please, don't let your tireless efforts and networking of industry contacts slow you down. I once decided to do research on a bank before I bought the stock and I simply walked in the branch, said hi to the teller and grabbed a promo piece off the teller window to read up on the bank. Of course those big ads in the Sunday paper made me even more knowledgable about the company. Seems your extent of information on NCUBE is related to their press release. Do you get all your information from news articles and promotional press releases to make your informed opnions on technical issues such as server design, storage and scaling issues? Your Oracle database works sounds real tough. Fast forward and rewind on a sports event? Searching the system to find a video clip of the last time a QB threw a hail mary pass in the Superbowl? You are so correct. The engineers at CCUR could never fathom such a task with their real time system experience. After all, flight simulation is not a very demanding technical feat. Simply replicating the video and physical enviornment in real time of flying an Air Force fighter jet in combat isn't so tough. But rewinding a football play or finding a past video clip from a database, now that sounds like rocket science. I can only hope the CCUR engineers are up to the task. I hope the Air Force doesn't start to ask for instant replay??
