This is confirmed on the TVonics website. At the bottom of the home page it says "Gary Bell of Bell Advisory Llp was appointed administrator to the company on 12th June 2012. The affairs, business and property of the company are being managed by the administrator who acts as an agent of the company and without personal liability. Any person with an enquiry regarding the company's affairs should write to Bell Advisory Llp". I assume this is very bad news, but what does administration mean in practice?
