Telvue Corp. (fka TEVE)

[Hockmir]

Given all of the concern over the debt that Telvue appears to have, I thought it might be good Due Diligence (did I spell that right?) to see what some of the competition was, and whether they had debt.

So, lets first look at Adobe. They are certainly competition in the video streaming market, with their Flash and related video streaming products.

It certainly looks like they have a product line of software for folks who want to distribute their material in Flash format, i.e., over a computer network to Flash equipped receivers. Flash is, of course proprietary, and under the control of Adobe. Not open format broadcast quality NTSC or HDTV standard video, or any of the QAM or QPSK compatible video formats.

Here's a link to a summary page for the Adobe line:

Now, even though I don't consider Adobe as competing directly with the bundled hardware/software suite that Telvue offers, they do offer a chance to see whether such an operation has any debt.

Here is a chart showing the current debt-to-equity ratio for Adobe:



Oh my goodness gracious!! Looks like Adobe has all kinds of debt too. Would you suppose that it would be normal for such a situation to exist?

Maybe I need to look at some other competitors as well. Maybe I will discover that the debt sky is falling.
