gary d . forsee , sprint nextel president and chief executive officer said ,
the brand that the local business has chosen suits it well . embarq will be an aggressive , dynamic , forward - thinking company with strong assets , product know how and solid leadership .
centurytel and embarq have partly offset their wireline declines by signing up more high - speed internet customers and selling additional data services . yet with overall revenue growth slow to nonexistent , carriers have been forced to constantly cut costs and wring greater efficiency out of their existing operations .
as provia set out on the journey to develop this new door , it expanded into a complete philosophy of creating unrivaled efficiency in home building products . this new way of thinking is called “envision” , and its first creation is embarq – the doorway to innovation and efficiency .
cash flow is especially important to rural phone carriers . they pay big dividends to shareholders and need to continue to generate lots of cash to fund the payouts . centurytel returns a considerable 10 % annual dividend yield at its current price and embarq pays a nearly 9 % yield .
as embarq began its independent existence , it still had to contend with declining landline customers . after dropping 4 percent in 2005 , the company was well on its way to losing another 5 . 5 to 7 . 5 percent in 2006 , much of the erosion due to cable competition . as a result , wall street was far from bullish about embarq ' s prospects . to gain traction with customers , and investors , the company began assembling packages of services to defend its customer base and hopefully build upon it . in addition to dsl broadband service , embarq began to resell branded wireless service using excess sprint capacity and satellite television . the company also hoped to tie together technologies . examples of this type of hoped - for innovation included an integrated voice message box that served both wireless and home lines , and a phone that worked on both cellular and wireless - fidelity networks . another factor in embarq ' s favor was that it mostly served smaller towns and rural communities , which had been underserved by telecommunications companies and offered less competition . whether a primarily landline company would succeed under contemporary conditions remained to be seen , however .
“as a company , provia has always emphasized energy efficiency and pursued continuous improvements with high energy - performing products , ” says brian miller , president of provia . “with the introduction of embarq and our new envision program , we are strengthening our commitment to leadership in energy efficiency . ”
in may 2006 , shares of embarq stock began trading on the new york stock exchange . if it had been a stand - alone company the previous year , it would have generated $ 6 . 7 billion in revenues and $ 900 million in net earnings , numbers that would have placed it in the low 300s of the fortune 500 . thus , after the close of trading on may 17 , embarq gained a place in the standard & poor ' s 500 stock index , replacing applied micro circuits corp . , which no longer met the minimum financial requirement to be included .
the following preliminary allocation of the purchase price of embarq is based on centurytel’s preliminary best estimates of the fair value of the currently identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of embarq . the final determination of the allocation of the purchase price will be based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities as of july 1 , 2009 , the consummation date of the acquisition , and is expected to be completed late in 2009 . such final identification and determination of all the intangible assets acquired and the purchase price allocation may be significantly different than that used in this pro forma financial information .
we set out on a journey to develop a new fiberglass entry door and it expanded into a complete philosophy of creating unrivaled efficiency in home building products . we call this new way of thinking envision . the first creation using the envision philosophy is embarq – the doorway to innovation and energy efficiency .
that is a valid point . embarq was historically a rural telephone company , some of the areas they server are no longer rural ( las vegas being the prime example ) , but the majority of the area is still in rural markets . so , the price may be a bit above average for 10 meg , but when you start seeing companies offer these speeds in gun barrel station * texas it has got to be a good thing . * i don ' t know whether or not the 10 meg was released in gun barrel station - i used it as an example of a rural town embarq serves
aside from customer acceptance , embarq had to gain approval from regulators in 14 of the 18 states in which it operated . at the time of the naming announcement , the company had received half the necessary approvals . holding up approval in several of the other states were the objections of the communications workers of america .
we were concerned about this spun - off company , whether it would be a viable entity or not ,
union official jimmy gurganis told the kansas city star . hesse then met with the union to outline his plans for growing embarq and was able to reassure them that he had no intention of allowing the ltd to wither on the vine . the two sides reached a labor relations agreement and the union dropped its objections with state regulators , opening the way for the completion of the spinoff . sprint shareholders received one share of embarq stock for every 20 shares of sprint stock they held .
the following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information . all adjustments are based on current assumptions and are subject to change upon completion of the final purchase price allocation based on the identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired from embarq at the merger closing date .
prior to joining embarq , guillermo conducted research on mobility management in large urban centers , focusing specifically on five global cities ( amsterdam , curitiba , london , singapore and tokyo ) . along with a university professor , guillermo has also worked on the development of a fleet management software for small cargo companies .
i don ' t see anything claiming this is breakthrough anywhere . . . . this is a broadband site right ? this is broadband news correct ? to the people who have embarq and want faster speeds , this is worth writing for them . you have rr , this shouldn ' t affect you in any way
sprint nextel corp’s ( nyse : s ) local communications company , which is expected to be separated from sprint nextel in the second quarter of 2006 , has announced its new name and unveiled its new logo . the new company , embarq™ , plans to integrate products and offers in ways that make sense to customers .
while competition in the phone business remains fierce , embarq would be partly shielded by its concentration in second - tier or rural markets that offer a sanctuary of sorts . still , some investors argue that competition will continue to siphon off customers , force the company to scale back dividend payments and ultimately undermine its stock price .
after months of secrecy , sprint nextel corp . said its local telephone division would be named embarq when it separates this spring to become its own company . sprint nextel , based in reston , va . , unveiled the name and logo to employees and plans a larger marketing blitz after the spinoff in the second quarter .

monarch beach , calif . , sept . 16 / prnewswire - firstcall / - - embarq corporation ( eq ) announced today that it ranked number 47 on the 2008 informationweek 500 revealed last night at a gala awards ceremony , part of the exclusive informationweek 500 conference at the st . regis resort in monarch beach , ca .
sprint nextel corp . ( nyse : s ) announced today that it plans to complete the spin - off of its local communications business on may 17 , 2006 . the new company will be called embarq corporation , and it is expected to be listed on the new york stock exchange under the ticker symbol
eq .
in 2006 , embarq ' s revenue is projected to decline to $ 6 . 4 billion to $ 6 . 5 billion from $ 6 . 7 billion a year earlier , on a pro forma basis . pro forma results assume that the spinoff had occurred on jan . 1 , 2005 , thereby allowing for financial comparisons .
and therein , he says , is the secret of embarq ' s success to date .
what makes us different ( from other local phone companies ) is our focus on innovation ,
he says .
that ' s not necessarily the first thing people think of when they think of a local phone company .
embarq , for its part , posted a third - quarter profit of $ 160 million , or $ 1 . 11 a share , compared with $ 157 million , or $ 1 . 01 a share , in the year - earlier period . revenue fell to $ 1 . 53 billion from $ 1 . 59 billion .
centurytel’s net income rose to $ 279 . 2 million in the first quarter , up 241 percent from the $ 81 . 9 million earned in the first quarter of 2009 . sales rose to $ 1 . 8 billion from $ 635 . 4 million over the same period . both numbers were boosted by the embarq acquisition .
embarq provides internet connectivity to about 1 . 3 million subscribers , making it the fourth - largest dsl provider in the country . it has acknowledged experimenting earlier this year with nebuad , which intercepts and performs deep packet inspection of what ' s flowing through a company ' s network in hopes of delivering relevant , anonymized ads .
sprint spinoff embarq has been testing a 10mbps dsl tier in las vegas since last september , and this week began offering the faster tier across much of their footprint . as of monday , the company made a few changes to their tier pricing in order to accommodate the faster tier , which we ' ll dissect below the break .

customers wouldn ' t know we have a relationship with sprint .
embarq brasil provided technical assistance to the transportation agencies of rio de janeiro , belo horizonte and brasilia—three of brazil’s largest and most traffic - congested cities—to design and implement bus rapid transit ( brt ) systems . in 2014 , 154 kilometers of high - quality brt corridors were launched , cutting 1 . 5 million people’s commute times by 50 percent .
 . we were looked after and never left back which gave us the courage to push our limits knowing they had our backs . embarq has shown me how to explore and i think they have created a travel monster … . so where do we go next ? thank you sujal , medha and piyush for a wonderful memory . cheers ! !

wasn ' t on any ios devices until this morning when the neuros - powered streaming global television service got an app store launch . it ' s intended for a wide variety of ios devices - - the iphone 3gs through the 5 , as well as ipod touches and ipads running ios 4 . 3 or newer - - and offers access to wherevertv free international tv streaming options , as well as paid options for greek , moroccan , and arabic programming ( the app ' s been available on android devices for some time now ) .
is a big market for tv consumption and we know that a lot of younger viewers are switching to digital streaming services to get access to tv and video content . this audience has grown up watching short video clips of sports , comedy and entertainment on social media channels accessed whenever and wherever . partnering with wherevertv in
wherevertv currently offers greektv subscription packages , arabictv subscription packages , moroccan tv subscription packages , and globaltv , a low cost , entry level 300 + channel subscription package that includes channels from all around the world . the company also offers more than 1 , 000 free channels to 150 , 000 pc users in 189 countries .
in the coming weeks and months , wherevertv intends to add additional channels to its existing subscription packages , add new subscription packages from various countries which includes the usa tv package , and drive progress on a number corporate specific initiatives aimed at becoming a global internet television subscription company . below we will discuss several of these strategic topics individually .
i soon added boxes from roku and vudu , which allowed me to push more movies and tv shows onto my tv . ( vudu no longer makes a dedicated box , but it still offers a premium online movie service ; roku currently offers a variety of services , including movies from urltoken and netflix as well as hulu . ) then , in 2008 , i came across the wherevertv receiver , a small set - top box that provides a sophisticated channel guide that cuts across dozens of countries and thousands of broadcasters . now we were talking ! the only strikes against the wherevertv box were the quality of the image—which depends on the sender of the video—and the lack of flash support .
all these tricks still aren ' t enough to free us from traditional tv , but the bonds will continue to loosen . for example , mark cavicchia , president of wherevertv , told me that the company plans to transform its guide so that it works with roku and boxee ( a freeware home theater program ) and , eventually , google tv .
consumption of over the top ( “ott” ) video continues to increase at a record pace . the largest ott service provider , netflix ( recorded content only ) , now has more customers than the largest us cable company – comcast . hulu’s ( recorded content only ) popularity also continued to grow dramatically during 2013 . these statistics benchmark consumers’ demand for viewing flexibility , platform options , portability and personalization of viewing access such as that offered by wherevertv ( includes live - streaming in real time and / or recorded content ) . consumers are becoming more aware of and migrating to cheaper and more flexible alternatives to cable and satellite providers such as ott services , which directly benefits wherevertv’s long - term customer acquisition strategy .
with approximately 4 million arabic speaking people residing in the us alone , the company believes its greatest current growth opportunity is through ethnic programming and its presently available arabictv offering . the company’s plans to increase arabic marketing efforts have already begun . in 2014 , wherevertv will air : 30 and : 60 second television commercials on the arabic channel , the oldest and most established us - based arabic language television channel , promoting its arabictv subscription package which includes access to over 50 different channels . wherevertv has also made arrangements to run print ads in the leading arabic language newspapers along the east coast , including boston , the new york metropolitan area and down through washington , dc to build brand recognition with the arabic - language community .
“wherevertv latino was created as a wholly - owned subsidiary because we felt the latin american community and its culture would be better served . ” said edward d . ciofani , ceo . “the spanish speaking peoples of the world make–up one of the largest populations . ” edward d . ciofani , ceo went on the say , “their use of mobile devices for streaming of content is expected to grow at an extraordinary pace and wherevertv believes we can be a major factor in what and how they stream . in addition , the regulatory environment in latin america empowers us so we are now able to offer our latin american customers the rare opportunity to customize what content and how much content they want to watch on a monthly basis . ”
globaltv in july , the company introduced the globaltv service for android devices , which organizes more than 300 free - to - air channels from more 60 countries into one easy - to use , customizable channel lineup . the service is only $ 4 . 99 per month and wherevertv expects to add another 100 channels during 2014 as more broadcasters make their signals available online .
fort myers , fla . , sept . 01 , 2016 ( globe newswire ) - - wherevertv broadcasting corp . ( otc : tvtv ) , a leader in delivering over the top ( ott ) subscription television services to a variety of devices including smartphones , tabletpcs , streaming media players , computers and connected tvs announced that it has received an investment of $ 500 , 000 from a company director . gary mcguirk , a member of the board , recently executed a subscription agreement for direct equity in common stock . the $ 500 , 000 will be used for the current launch of its us - based channel packages , continuing development of its wherevertv latino channel packages slated for launch in mexico and latin america in the 4 th quarter , and general corporate purposes .
in fact , the overall market for ott services surpassed $ 8 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach $ 20 billion by 2015 . one expert cited a cisco systems report and stated : “online video isn’t just growing fast , it’s growing faster than any other type of consumer service offering – and soon it’s going to be even more popular than facebook , twitter and co . ” this trend bodes well for wherevertv , as the company continues to deploy its niche - focused broadcast model . while it is clear that several are currently vying for market share in this space now , and that many will most likely follow , wherevertv feels it has a competitive and comparative advantage in that it is distributing either licensed content , or patent pending software . this is unlike many providers , for example aereo , which is retransmitting us channels without any content licenses in place . as a result of this alleged “pirating , ” networks have sued aereo and the ultimate decision of the courts is expected in 2014 , when aereo will defend itself in front of the us supreme court . wherevertv intends to avoid litigation by working with content providers and / or licensing content .
bored by the 500 + channels supplied by your cable box ? the wherevertv receiver opens your tv up to thousands of live international television channels without the need for a pc . the receiver works with any standard tv and is simple to install : ethernet cable ( for internet ) in and rca composite video cable ( connects to the tv ) out . it even comes with a remote control .
fort myers , fla . , march 20 , 2017 ( globe newswire ) - - wherevertv broadcasting corp . ( otc : tvtv ) , which delivers over the top ( ott ) subscription television services to a variety of devices including smartphones , tabletpcs , streaming media players , computers and connected tvs , announced today that it has strengthened its financial position and appointed milo seidl to the board of directors .
are aged between 15 and 24 . as an audience consuming short form video content regularly through social media channels , wherevertv has chosen to feature the qyou ' s programming line - up to introduce a broader content mix to millennial subscribers . the channel will feature digital - first creative talent from around the world , covering genres as diverse as music , comedy , children ' s entertainment , sports and stunts .

while the initial wherevertv ios application only supported greek , moroccan and arabictv subscriptions , the company will be adding globaltv support in the next release slated for early 2014 . in regards to the company’s recent global ipg application , the company believes the combination of the low monthly costs ( $ 4 . 99 ) , combined with the large offering of more than 300 channels from 60 countries , presents a substantial revenue opportunity in 2014 .
the company has also recently consolidated its two android applications ; one that supported only googletv devices and another that supported only smartphone and tablets applications ( over 1 . 1 billion devices sold ) to a single application that works on all android devices . during 2014 , wherevertv will introduce its us based service and a cloud - based , network dvr service which will allow for unlimited simultaneous recordings and other popular features requested by customers .
from an investor relations perspective , wherevertv began taking an active role in 2013 , after completing a reverse merger , updating its name and ticker symbol in 2012 , and expects to increase its investor relations efforts during 2014 . the company received favorable coverage from the goldman research report in october and will continue to develop relationships with other analysts and investor relations specialists to increase investor awareness about the company , its services , and plans for growth .
wherevertv has established two specific marketing relationships to promote its greektv and arabictv services , and plans to strengthen these relationships throughout 2014 . the greektv marketing relationship is with the largest greek organization in north america – the greek orthodox archdiocese of america – with more than 1 . 5 million active members . the company plans to expand the relationship to include more grass - roots marketing oriented activities and will work directly with local parishes to drive customer acquisition .
“the wherevertv latino division , its channels with its website and its customer service interface have been designed to meet the diverse and growing needs of the massive latin american culture . we are creating a customer experience that gives latin american consumers portability , affordability , and versatility , ” said jack feldman , the director of latin american business affairs . “we’ve been in development for over a year . we now feel we are quickly approaching a launch date . ”
prior to founding wherevertv , mark was managing director of greater china for everse corporation , where he led software development efforts for fortune 500 and global 2000 clients . mark has also served as president / ceo of a regional clinical laboratory and as a management consultant for boutique investment banking firms in los angeles . he has been a keynote speaker and featured panelist at various crm conferences , where mark spoke about how technology can be leveraged to enhance customer relationships and experiences .
but first , we wish to convey this message of gratitude . wherevertv is appreciative of our shareholders , customers , subscribers , stakeholders , vendors , employees , twitter followers and facebook friends . we appreciate how many of you joined our efforts by blogging , “liking , ” “tweeting , ” and “sharing” wherevertv . the market for internet tv is becoming widely accepted and has become a mainstream media topic in just the last few months . and our internal developments continue to convince us that we are the premier play in this market space . and as a result , we are beginning to see a groundswell of support . we ask you to continue your efforts to help us become the company we intend to become , the first global internet - based cable television platform offering content to , and delivering content from all regions of the world . together we can continue this mission to deliver targeted content to subscribers in the united states and in the other 188 countries around the world .
in 2009 verizon fios , a fiber - optic broadband , telephone , and video service , came to my new york city neighborhood . fios was faster , which greatly improved the quality of online video . but i still lacked a good way to marry my flat screen to the internet , because more and more broadcasters were relying on flash , something the wherevertv box couldn ' t handle . so even with fios , i was still watching a lot of shows on a large computer display .
wherevertv expects to launch its us service with approximately 80 television channels and 40 audio channels . it believes it finally has enough compelling content available to launch a us service aimed at the 110 million existing cable and satellite households looking to lower their cable bills , as well as the more than 40 million consumers of recorded ott subscription services offered by netflix , hulu and others . to date , the company has agreed to terms with more than 50 us television networks and is in active discussions with others .
with a multitude of companies , devices and platforms embracing the “tv everywhere” concept , which continues to grow in popularity and demand by consumers around the world , wherevertv will look to capitalize on any product , service or company that plans to or is offering one of more sources of content to its customers by licensing its patent - pending technology in exchange for licensing fees . the company remains optimistic that it will receive patent approval in 2014 and expects the global ipg patent to provide long - term and substantial value to our stakeholders .
arabictv the company launched an arabictv package in 2013 , featuring more than 50 channels from across the middle east for $ 9 . 99 per month . the service is available on the googletv platform , as well as on ios and android devices . during 2014 , the company expects to add another 20 channels to its arabic lineup and will focus on the growing arabic expatriate community in the americas ( north , central and south ) . it is expected that the arabictv package will start to increase wherevertv’s overall revenues during the next 12 months .

in moves to strengthen the company balance sheet and financial position , wherevertv recently announced that edward d . ciofani , ceo & chairman , has converted his 2015 accumulated debt financing to equity . in separate and unrelated moves , new board director milo seidl has invested $ 100 , 000 . 00 and opened a convertible line of credit for $ 400 , 000 with the company to be used for general corporate purposes . and separately , gary mcguirk sr . , director , has also established a convertible line of credit for the company of $ 500 , 000 to be used for general corporate purposes .
the company is currently taking steps to upgrade its market listing status from pink sheet to otc bulletin board . becoming otc bulletin board compliant requires that the company move from a “non - reporting” sec filing status to becoming a “fully reporting” , audited financials status . the company is now making arrangements to get into compliance with sec reporting requirements and expects to have its audit completed by the end of 1q2014 . at the conclusion of the audit , wherevertv expects to be current with its reporting requirements to the securities and exchange commission and is desirous of moving the tvtv listing from otc pink to otc qb sometime during the first half of 2014 .
over the past 5 years , the company has accumulated a large number of email addresses from current and past customers and will begin marketing to these individuals via email , auto - responder campaigns and newsletter updates in 2014 . with over 150 , 000 free subscribers to its services , wherevertv will attempt to convert as many of these free customers into paying subscribers by continuing to expand its content offerings across a wider array of devices and connectedtv platforms , and by providing access to the most popular television channels from around the world . additionally , the company has increased its social media marketing efforts , its search engine optimization efforts and email marketing campaigns .
“we want to demonstrate that we value our shareholders and stakeholders and feel that the up - listing effort and a fully reporting status conveys our commitment to regulatory compliance , full disclosure and shareholder value , ” explained ceo mark cavicchia . “the timing to launch a live - streaming ott us service couldn’t be better … with netflix’s 38 million subscribers and the aereo decision headed to the supreme court this april , we believe a legally agreed over - the - top subscription service will be well received by us consumers . the ability to incorporate over - the - top services with traditional pay - television services is something consumers are not only learning to enjoy , but are starting to expect from their on - screen programme guides . wherevertv’s global ipg is the ideal solution to this growing desire . ”

in the 1970s , growing up in new york city , one of my favorite toys was a norelco shortwave radio , a present from my father , who was born in austria . i would tune in to radio broadcasts from the bbc world service and the deutsche welle . it was a thrill to listen to broadcasts from far - off lands .
in 2001 , i came across the modern - day equivalent—an internet radio player . i soon found i had little use for terrestrial radio , although i still watched television the traditional way , via my cable provider .
i first started looking around for alternatives to cable tv in 2005 , when german tv , a premium cable channel available in the united states , was shut down . surely my favorite german shows must be available online , no ? a web search revealed the answer : a firm maybe . i was able to find some shows on the internet , but not others . while i kept my cable service , i also uncovered a wealth of online television content from around the world .
of course , i wanted to watch these programs on my shiny new 42 - inch sony flat - screen tv , so i connected an old ibm thinkpad directly to the sony . picture quality ranged from poor to okay if viewed at a distance . it was like the thrill of listening to shortwave radio all over again .
in 2007 steve jobs introduced apple tv , claiming it was
like a dvd player for the 21st century .
this was an exaggeration , but apple tv proved a good way to view my collection of digital movies . soon , apple had made deals with the major movie studios to rent films through itunes . between the thinkpad and apple tv , i found myself watching more and more on tv without turning on the cable box .
my dream of a better iptv set - top box was finally realized in 2010 with the logitech revue with google tv . while google bills google tv as a tool to search the web , i view it and its chrome browser as a window to internet television .
today i can watch almost anything found on a website on my television . the major exceptions are the u . s . television networks , which currently block google tv . the networks ' stance is inconsistent , because they make many of these shows accessible via hulu , a content aggregator owned by news corp . ( fox ) , walt disney ( abc ) , and nbc universal , among others . were i to connect my laptop to the tv in place of the logitech box , i could easily watch the same shows on hulu or often the networks ' own websites on the very same screen . google tv itself blocks nothing , so a viewer can watch pirated copies of the very same shows on such websites as surfthechannel . com .
the paid version of hulu—hulu plus—charges us $ 7 . 99 per month for unlimited access to 40 current shows , plus thousands of older programs ( i found the original episodes of
adam - 12 ,
for example ) . cbs news has a free app that provides video programming from the
cbs evening news ,
face the nation ,
48 hours ,
and
sunday morning ,
among others . if i want to watch
60 minutes
on the ipad , however , i have to buy the app for a one - time fee of $ 4 . 99 . abc similarly offers an ipad app with a mix of free programs and others that can be bought on itunes .
in some cases , i can take movies and videos playing on the ipad and stream them to apple tv , and thence to my tv screen , using apple airplay . sadly , this doesn ' t work with hulu and the broadcast network apps .
now the ipad is becoming a battleground that may determine how television programs are viewed in the united states . both time warner and cablevision systems corp . have in recent months released apps that allow their subscribers to view content on the ipad itself , in essence turning the ipad into a tv . the time warner app has multiple limitations—you have to subscribe to television and broadband services , and the app functions only in your home . even so , some content owners have objected , forcing time warner to remove content . the cablevision app tries to mirror the content that would be available on the subscriber ' s tv set and doesn ' t require the subscriber to have cablevision ' s broadband service .
however , there ' s a downside to cutting the cord—it could starve programmers and thus induce them to take their content off - line .
more than 50 percent of a programmer ' s income is derived from cable subscriptions . as people cut ties to the cable companies , the programmers will naturally reduce what can be accessed for free ,
says larry thaler , president of positive flux , a consultancy that helps media companies deal with the changing landscape .
my experience with iptv may not be the norm , but it most likely portends the future of the industry . companies such as apple and google have seemingly cracked the code in terms of selling apps and entertainment . netflix , whose postal delivery of dvd rentals killed off blockbuster , has already figured out that the secret to movie rentals is to stream them over the net , seemingly via any and all devices , including many blu - ray players . can other content be far behind ? meanwhile , a new company , zediva ,
rents
dvds over the net , giving online viewers access to movies the same day they are released on dvd .
for now , internet tv augments rather than displaces the traditional television experience . i believe we ' ll come to see a hybrid model , in which we ' ll buy fewer premium channels and services from traditional tv providers and go online for more and more of our entertainment . the only problem that remains is how we ' ll pay for it .
watching tv via the net is an adventure . just as i had to adjust the aerial of my norelco shortwave radio , sometimes i have to reboot the revue google tv box or reload a web page half a dozen times in order to get good
reception .
but it ' s worth the trouble .
