Hi! I'm almost about to get back into IATV. My timing is going to be tight because I need to ride GERN first. IATV is currently hurt by the nasty Proxy Statement, but if Wall Street decides it can live with it, nothing will stop IATV. So...I'm waiting and watching how these dear institutions take Mr. Samuels' greed. We should know by next week... __________ Champolion

Art, Any comments on this? I do not want to cause a dispute on this post, I am invested in (SPYG) but I feel that (IATV) and (SPYG) may be somehow linked or should be/will be. What is your feeling on this article? I am trying to get a feel for what these two (IATV)(SPYG) have that may work in synch with each other? Looking for input from the board. Can these two benefit each other or is this a form of competition, it get's technical on these applications/chips/OS etc. ---------------------------------------- New clues to TV box of the future By Jim Davis Staff Writer, CNET News.com May 17, 1999, 3:50 p.m. PT update A new chip from LSI Logic and a deal between Spyglass and Korean consumer electronics giant LG Electronics are shedding more light on how the TV set-top box market, and the device itself, might develop. LSI Logic announced a Scientific-Atlanta and General Instrument, new chip, called the SC2000, that could spur further deployment in Europe and Asia of digital television set-top boxes that offer interactive services such as Web browsing, electronic program guides, and video games. Also today, Spyglass said it has inked a deal with LG Electronics to provide software that lets a digital TV set-top box browse the Web and fetch movies on demand, among other services. LG Electronics even has plans to integrate the technology directly into TV sets, which is an indication that LG expects the market to develop rapidly enough so that set-top functions are built into a TV. LG isn't the only company looking at what's beyond the digital box; Thompson Consumer Electronics, which makes the RCA brand of TVs, is also looking at integrating Web browsing technology into the TV set. ==== news.com
