Never mind.
Don't count out the Pat's, look for a big defensive play after the score they just made.
Falcons...please.
What year?
NYG....thanks.
I know, plus I'm not sure how secure the site is against piracy, they are using the Adobe Flash Player.

Amazon Launches Video Streaming Service: Look Out iTunes, Hulu, Netflix
Dan Frommer | September 4, 2008 12:55 AM
Not to be outdone by whatever iTunes/iPod services Apple's (AAPL) Steve Jobs could be planning to announce next week, Amazon (AMZN) has rolled out its new Amazon Video on Demand video streaming service. After a quick test, we think it's the best competition iTunes has seen yet.
Amazon's new video service picks up where its old one, Unbox, left off -- it now works on Macs, for example, and video starts streaming instantly. We just tried it out on a few free episodes of '30 Rock', and it works well: Good -- not great -- video quality and a user interface that, while cluttered, should be familiar to any Amazon shopper.
How does Amazon's streaming service compare with iTunes, Hulu, and Netflix streaming? Like Apple's iTunes, Amazon's service will offer rentals for $3 to $4 and movie purchases for $10 to $15. Most TV episodes seem to cost $2; season packs are also available.
Unlike iTunes, Amazon offers NBC shows -- some of the same episodes you'll be able to watch at Hulu for free, but without the commercials. And its library of 40,000 movies and TV shows blows Netflix's sorry selection out of the water. Also nice, but not a game changer: It'll stream to some Sony TVs and TiVo devices, as well as Windows Media Center extender devices, like Microsoft's Xbox 360.
The downside: Full downloads for offline viewing are still only available for Windows PCs and TiVos, not Macs or Apple TVs. And portable movies still won't play on any Apple gadgets like iPods or iPhones.
Is this the service that will ignite some sort of Web video revolution, get everyone to connect their PCs to their TVs, and swear off cable and DVDs? Too early to tell, but probably not in its current form -- Amazon still hasn't made it easy enough to watch these streams on most TVs. And we're still not sure which streaming video business model, if any, will appeal most to consumers -- paid streaming vs. ad-supported streaming vs. subscription streaming.
Nor will it likely be able to generate enough revenue or profit to move the needle for Amazon any time soon. But so far, we like what we see from Amazon; this is a big upgrade from Unbox.

Pittsburg for me.. Thanks.
Nice posts, connect the dots...
Oh, the Celtics are the backup band for the guy who does the River Dance.
They are two seperate signals, if you discontinue your TV they put a filter inline to block the TV cable signal.
Even though they come in on the same line the signals are sent to you on different frequencies, so they are able to filter what you get.
Nice try.
Jumped in over the past few days, seems something is brewing with this stock. Did it on DD from this board for the most part, a confident group here, keep up the good work.
Like I said a small loss, my house is worth 300k and I manage to pay for it.
All this talk about Hulu and other sites managed by the various networks isn't fair, their content is provided for them (popular shows to say the least) with advertising on the networks site, plenty of technical people at thhier disposal, we are still in the running with a little push to get noticed.
With all the hash slinging going on here, it seems the more pissed off you get, the more you learn about reeltime.
Maybe for us current investors, for any kind of move, they need to back up the data with some future income.
The question is, if /when the audited finanacials are released does reetime show a break even or minor loss and have news to follow up with to show future gains in this market.
Nice post park w, but misdirected though. Lady c big fan of the movie blog.
Did you nibble up all the .009's?
10-4
Etrade will not let me buy online, have to call it in???
May have to pull my order for more rltr and come get some exsa at these prices.
That's along time to wait to make your first post, someone finally struck a chord with with you.
You are correct, plugin is compatible with multiple players, Silverlight(Microsoft), Quicktime (Mac) etc.. The thing reltime has to deal with is the DRM (Digital Rights Management).
This keeps track of where the user is located, to allow or not allow him/her to view the content, depending on what rights reeltime has for that particular content.
Not a very technical breakdown of it but is my understanding of reeltimes side of the update to player.
I uderstand your positive outlook and what is down the pipeline but I personally have to question reeltime ever now and then and hopefully gain some info for what's in the future.
It's reeltime's job to get new investors/customers now, not this board, they are too dependant on the people here. The company needs to step up and prove themselves worthy of being listed on another exchange.
Financials are almost nine months over due and no clear reason why. The company is not putting out any reason for new people to invest so I wouldn't worry about scaring off new investors.
No news, no volume, no content loads, no new content providers, stealth mode sucks. Give a dog a bone, handing out reelcash cards at the Sea Fair Boat Show doesn't cut it. Post your vacation video's on my space.
I liked the old reeltime, it was easier to get shares, I had an order in last week at the bid for 80K @ .007, which was the bid for four days and didn't get filled, this no volume thing sucks. Today I bump it up to 75K @ .008 and nothing going.
Don't know if that's good or bad but you would figure with no volume someone would let some shares go.
LMAO, I want my flat panel 3D shades to stream reeltime.
The big networks are getting all the attention with their online sites with their main stream TV shows and justly so it's what people want to watch.
Get some stories out there!
Reeltime has been at this to long for us to be discussing handing out reelcash cards at Walmart or McDonalds, step up and make some connections. Plenty of free advertising in the industry mags, once some stories get out it could snowball, one reporter out doing the other.
It's no revelation the the stocks been played six ways to Sunday, took me a year to figure that out. One day the board is following the pps to the next following who's fired or hired.
I think I'll take my beer money and buy 100k and wait for that nickel.
I didn’t know we had so many marketing geniuses on the board, let’s hope reeltme takes you up on your proposition and the word gets out.
Nice job on the facebook page, I perfer this type of exposure than the card distribution, not to put it down, the cards may have their place on collage campuses.
TK, yourself and others who kept a positive attitude on the board is one thing that was mentioned, keep up the good work.
Talked to this investor also, to spend a week there (like asus) is dedication to reeltime, only good things to say. Refreshing to here it from a non Ihubber.
I also confirmed he was there just to be sure.
Thanks Todd!!
ReelTimer you certainly make a good point on how bad the company is at getting the word out.
I recently sent out some emails to the editors and writers of the industry mags I follow, about the Reeltime/Disney PR, a couple of days after the fact, when I didn't see any coverage and recieved a follow up email from a writer at the Hollywood Reporter saying basically that the news was to old but to notifiy him the next time reeltime news comes out.
My point is why isn't the company doing this? Blast out some emails so the news is covered, these mags post all kinds of stories about online video it's silly and reeltime is hardly ever mentioned. Gridnetworks get more press than reeltime.
Thanks for post on rltr board, member and board mark made.
Buy some groups do you mean the other JV's want to do their testing on the MMA site?
You have done a hell of a job Todd and are one of the reasons I continue to hold my shares. I may lose my patience here once and while but the progress of the reeltime site and the ones to follow, which I'm sure will compliment the content, I'm sure will impress us investors.
This Verizon site reminds me of reeltime about a year ago, without the red/orange front page.

How many people have to leave, get fired and resign before the company can explain the inner workings of what is going on. I reley on industry news or articles now, to see if reeltime is mentioned, or how they measure up to the competion.
The investor blog unanswered for months, take the f'ing thing down if it is not going to be used or post some kind message up there with a company update. The people left seem to have enough time to review and comment on movies and happenings around Hollywood on the other blog.
I'm done being lied to and won't pump this stock anymore without facts.
I smell a buyout. No that's Barrys sneakers.
They loaded more Sony movies. Yeah Bev, MG and Ro's salary being put to use.
Thanks for all the hard work ReelBev.
With this news it seems there is less and less reason to be invested in this company.
Hey Barry, the least you could do is give us a decent pps to exit on.
Is that road like a city block or is it a country road winding through hills?
