Thanks Tiny I think that what we really need to

I think that what we really need to take away from your Comcast article is that these are now the decisions NTEK has to respond to also, and NTEK is supposed to be nimble.
Consider how fast the user market is changing to include HDR, and then the fact that NTEK has to change Apps to accomodate and each tv maker, and each of their tv lines requires different coding from NTEK. Also consider that this may require NTEK to upload/reload movies differently. In fact we have seen the company already react to this.
The positive for NTEK is that NTEK doesn't have to design a device, start up manufacturing/design/shipping/pricing and then hope that the market hasn't already changed beyond the device. In fact, this is a huge positive and most likely the reason why some big boy is going to jump at NTEK.
Look at Comcast - they already put off this complete manufacture,design,ship,price one time and now they think they have to deal with that pressure all over again. Only this second time, they will find themselves forestalled by NTEK. A goofy pinky worth less than nothing after the valuable sale of NTGL. So they get NTEK for a net zero...or maybe not.
I think that NTEK's delays recently were all heavy duty retooling and when we are all done we will be 4K, UHD, Bluray equivalent for people lucky enough to be in a city with 100mbps. And we will let everyone think it was all easy - easy for NTEK, but not so easy for anyone else - and that is the exact right message. Especially now when we have a smaller # of movies to retool.
