John; fortunately, this associate would have no problem throttling down the bitstream to 19.39. I don't know for sure, and I have to be vague anyway, but I suspect that they want to compete with Terayon. Otherwise, they could just call up Terayon, with which they have a commercial relationship. I also note in a subsequent post that you gave the link to the license patch. Last time I checked, it was still being worked on. Talking to the folks from Terayon at NAB, I discerned that they might be interested in pursuing the tv station market. There's a funny story there, but I guess I'll be discreet and leave it for private conversations. Let's just say I spent much time at the Terayon booth, waiting to meet with someone who didn't show up for two days in a row. The last time I visited, they were asking "Has ___ been fired yet?"
