I guess we all made money. To answer the gentleman who just posed a few questions, TVL does have a patent. However, it is for a multiple ratings system. The only country to adopt a ratings system is the USA and they have adopted a single ratings system of which the FCC and CEMA have adopted a technical standard which calls for the changing the ciruitry on exising closed caption chips already present in TV's. Tri-Vision may have interesting and good technology, but it is not mandated. If you know anything about the TV industry, these people will not do anything they don't HAVE to do. Since Tri-Vision has a HUGE inventory of unsold goods, a flawed marketing plan and has been unwilling to show us how little cash they really have, I suspect the recent run up has more to do with hype to raise money than anything else. Short and staying short.
