I lost it years ago, mate.
Between you, me and that mauve elephant that just went by on a tartan unicycle, I think I need more of the tablets.

Heres hoping they spend more time producing quality media than they do watching it on their recent IPTV setup at their new offices in London! LOL...


Netvue completes IPTV project for DCD Media

Installation provides choice of Freeview and satellite channels and a DVD feed to the distribution company
Laura Hailstone, CRN, 02 Jan 2007

IPTV integrator Netvue has completed an IPTV project for TV production and distribution company DCD Media, using IPTV networking vendor Exteritys products.

The installation has provided a choice of Freeview channels, satellite channels and a DVD feed, all distributed using Exteritys equipment on DCDs LAN.

Colin Farquhar, chief executive of Exterity, said: Netvue has used our technology to expand its existing broadcast-based marketplace to include corporates, delivering high-quality distributed TV anywhere, at anytime, which is ideally suited to DCD Medias industry.

Derek Nelson, interim chief operating officer at DCD Media, said: We are a television business, so it makes sense to have television in our offices. Netvues system gave us the advantage of television on our computer desktops and the ability to put display screens anywhere in the building without the need for extra cabling.

I'm in good company--I also added today! Read a good analyst report posted on the other side so I'm hoping the only way is up when the next results are out.

billywills - 31 Jan 2007 15:19 - 108 of 175

I am new to this game, forgive me if this is a silly question. I bought in yesterday so can somone explain why the trade was logged as a sell and not a buy?

hewittalan6 - 31 Jan 2007 15:29 - 109 of 175

No trade is ever logged as a buy or sell. It is just a guess based on whether the executed price was higher or lower than the mid price.
After all, every trade is both a buy and a sell!!!
Alan

moneyplus - 05 Feb 2007 11:03 - 110 of 175

Good news out today. Hope this rise continues and the company is rerated.

hewittalan6 - 05 Feb 2007 11:04 - 111 of 175

It deserves a look at the rating based purely on the quality it is producing.
Repeat and overseas sales should provide a good longer term income.

results today look very positive so I'm disappointed to see very little market reaction--I think maybe I've bought in too early a common mistake of mine! This time I shall tuck away and add when I've got some spare. Anyone else looked at the figures?
