you have not heard the last of the Pride deal yet.
you are dealing with a Canadian company and the CRTC is not going to let you walk in as an American company with out a lot of red tape.
Pride has just finished installing Q's encoder according to Wendy at Pride Vision. They are ready to go and you should be seeing a PR real soon on the deal with Pride.
Why do you think Q got the Canadian and US exclusive rights for the EURO games.
