Fort Wayne launched last month! Did you mean South Bend?

Tony

But they launched on Feb 12th which jives with what was reported.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Just taking questions, nothing to report of interest. They are getting ready to wrap up.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They hope to have the new SW+44 switch out by mid May

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Jay Leno will be at the Team Summit conference in May! (Cool I am going!)

That wraps up the chat!

THANKS SCOTT !!!

Question about 921's...

Bugs were found in the product by real videphiles and if your TV is not tuned properly the users had problem, so now they are tuning the units (ie new hardware) and upgrading software to fix these issues

(can I respond here?)

What the heck does that mean? They're obviously not tuning our TV's - so they are tuning the 921 to match the improperly tuned tvs?

Makes no sense. Probably talking about the blue line problem and whatever adjustment or filtering is being added to minimize it.

What... without the screen saver they were burning in Plasmas? What does this one mean?

Sorry, Dave.... Didn't mean to mimic your post. Like minds, I guess.....

921's will start to be available around April 1st

Now how are we supposed to take that seriously?

 

[Oakenshld]

There will be an upgrade next week which fixes some more bugs, and OpenTV should be available a month or so after that.

Anyone heard any more news on this?

An interesting question ... and at this point it's obviously not South Bend. Probably just an oops.

BTW: South Bend - NBC (WNDU) and PBS (WNIT) remain "in engineering", Which would make it a CBS/Fox/LeSea package if it were actually on. Probably not enough to sell.
