i called dish network in GA (about once a month). they claim that Q is not available now but are always willing to listen to the interests of the subscribers and will take them into consideration.
that's the best line i've heard all day LOL.
so then what's the problem?!?
skunks, its just a survey, they do them all the time on cnn.com... they don't change the world. all they do is give a general consensus of where people stand on a topic or issue.
geez, this board is turning into a 5th grade classroom with all of the BS, arguing and name calling. can't we all get along... everybody has valuable DD to bring to the board... i enjoy reading everybody. i'm an adult with a brain, so i can sift through the information that i feel is good and disregard the rest. Let just try to get along without all of the rebuttals, attacks, and defensive posts. ehh.
is their any validity to this lawsuit or is it just hearsay?
i don't think VOD is appropiate for our format and i agree with Frank... VOD is best for movie channels. Our network needs to be experienced in its entirety!

well, i'd say he's about as realible as Q when they post new PR's... he actually may have inside info (who knows) but Q very rarely follows through on the information that he learns.
true... and i think it needs to come sooner than later.

Q better be carefull with the next PR thats all I have to say
It could kill us .
well, if their were any carriers that were, "eager to view this professionally produced infomercial" don't you think they'd be showing by now... according to Q they had everything ready to go. Well, if that was the case, shouldn't the cable providers that are "eager" already be showing what was sent while only the others, who are playing it safe, would be delayed. Why is everyone delayed?!?
my guess is that these carriers are not potential carriers that will carry Q network but carriers that currently carry Oxygen. Each carrier, while not affiliated with Q in anyway, has standards as to what O can broadcast, even as an informercial. I wouldn't get too excited about the mention of carriers, i don't think that they are aligning themselves with our network... yet.

so these spots have been paid for starting April 1 through June and here it is April 21st... three freakin' weeks into April and its still not airing?!? Obviously they know how to miss deadlines big time and how to waste lots of money. man, i'm getting frustrated. come on frank, lets get our act together!!!
yes, the site is acting very flaky... i get the same message, other times, the website will appear but images are missing... then if i refresh i get "the page cannot be found" message... something is up.
i believe that the update was stating that the go-live day for broadcasting on Oxygen was to start today. also, as i recall, didn't a couple of people state that they called richard to find out the times they were to broadcast on today and that richard was supposed to update the website with that information yesterday. if they weren't supposed to go live today, i think richard would have told them that when they asked. of course, this is all hearsay, as i didn't speak with richard myself.

... and remember in the conference call, Frank specifically said that he lost major accounts as a result of investors interfering with his contacts/relations in the business. I agree with skunks... let frank and team do their job.
q_me_up
i'd rather forget them.
true. true.
i'm gonna give good 'ole franky boy the benefit of the doubt this time but should he miss his "we will go live on April 21st" deadline, i don't think many of his investors will be so forgiving.

NEWS FROM THE WEBSITE ABOUT O.
/14/2005 - Oxygen
Dear QBID Investors,
We are very sorry for the confusion with QTelevision airing on the Oxygen Network this morning. We had extreme difficulties launching the spot through Oxygen and did not find out about it until very earlt this morning. This logistical problem will take three to four days to fix, but to ensure there will not be another delay; we will go live on April 21st. We have already purchased the air time with Oxygen for 31 days in May and 30 days in June, airing in two slots for ½ hour a piece and can be viewed by any person who currently has the Oxygen Network in their home.
We recognize our investors are discouraged today and please understand we takes steps everyday to alleviate any anxieties you have concerning the success for QTelevsion by securing more of a foothold with carriers, talent, programming and media. We are still very much on track and have powerful resources at our disposal to attain the level of success both you and the whole Q staff feel we can achieve.
Sincerely,
Frank Olsen
this totally BLOWS!
remember it says, "We were thrilled to discuss"... discuss is the key word here. nothing definate about discuss. but its hopefully a step in the right direction.
i think VOD is only beneficial and attractive to networks that strictly broadcast movies... i don't think it would work well with Q's format.

Q is like oxygen
You get too much,
you get too high
Not enough and you're gonna die
Q gets you high ...
i need my QTV... i can't breath!
yeah, unfortunately i agree... without news we usually close even or down... with great news, such as the past couple of PR's, we only tick up one or two at best.
our day will come, our day will come!

maybe the "Pie in the Sky in the Horizon" could be alluding to a satellite carrier. Pie in the Sky could be the satelite dish... but who knows?!? its all hearsay... and just my guess.

i noticed that too and i often wondered if Q was bluffing by announcing those go-live dates. it almost seems like the Q got desparate and placed a bet that they could launch close to or just before the competition without any real plans in place. of course i hope that is not the case but it is strange that suddenly when NOGO couldn't make their date neither could Q. i totally believe in this company but sometimes its hard to know what to believe in.
nice find. that's awesome coverage... the show, much like the posted pictures, looks really professional on tv. the tv coverage is great. even frank's looking a few sizes smaller... obviously no longer eating breakfast sandwiches at BK.
although i admit it is a necessary and positive step in the right direction.

well if the POD is not reporting much revenue what makes anybody so sure that anyone will care, know where to look for, or even notice that Q is/will be broadcasting from this on demand service. not trying to be negative but it doesn't sound like POD is drumming up much viewership.
q_me_up
currently its 45% yes... but you can check out the results here:

would that be RCN?!?
and they will also invest in the stock!
