so this type of arrangement exists on satellite? I have TimeWarner cable, and can't think of pay channels that also have commercials... but at less than $4/month, I think it's still a bargain... thanks for answering $$$qbid!

We have been listening to too many rumors and speculations by others unless I get a PR from the Qtv's PR firm I don't believe no one so the ones that do always bail.Too much hype plus a down day in the markets emotions running high which equal panic.

Did you guys hear the new message? 1-888-594-7766. It clears up the misunderstanding with the PR. May 15th is the testing for the soft launch to make sure bandwiths, ect. ect are ok. June 1st is the official soft launch with cable & satelites. Listen to it.

The hotline message wasn't needed, but helps all understand the rollout period in case they didn't interpret or comprehend the PR. (..It seemed crystal clear to me)
Good luck to you guys. You've been on quite an exciting and profitable 3 month run.

well, it is kinda a different qbid now. the new qbid says the hard launch will be in the 3rd quarter compared to 2nd quarter, as was indicated by the CEO several times (that launch was "on time.)" everyone trusted that this time everything would be a "go" on time, but it's being delayed just like in the past when it never even got off the ground. so it does kinda change qbid a bit.
i still hold a position, but i sold and got my initial investment back this morning. let's hope this PR firm wow's us next time!

Q3 starts July 1st. You'd think they'd need some time from the Soft launch to woo investors, cable companies, etc, before continuing to 24/7 Hard launch.
I'm with Cash on this one, let it hit 0.01 so I can buy more

Frank Olsen (Feb 19 PR): "Our ten-year contract enables us to place our signal throughout the Time-Warner system on a market-by-market basis. After we meet their strict broadcast standards we expect to be throughout their system in the months to come."
MONTHS. So he is saying that they are sending the test signal in may and in months to follow, the hard launch will start. Months from May to me is around july, august. Whats everyones problem? Relax.

Beginner, Probably a bunch of teenagers hoping to get rich right now. Its not how anything works. You think McDonalds got big in 1 month? Patience!!!
Its normal to be scared or skeptical but you must understand this is a start-up network trying to build the foundation.
I don't care if it takes 1 year to get to .25 as long as they keep moving forward and progress is being made..you should be happy.

Hey no different than if you get the Sunday NFL Ticket, you get commercials. The reason its a pay channel is because of the nature. The last thing this channel needs is thumpers marching afraid their kids are going to turn gay from watching the channel. Great business plan in my mind, get income from subscriptions and advertising.

and to expand on that thought, it's the same as setting up a network that would not be a subscription channel, so that in the future, they are aligned in the market with big name advertisers ready to rock when they do away with the subscription fees...

Good. At least we still have some rational people here. Another thing that bothers me is that everyone is so worried about the pps.... Not picking on you but you have a good example...you said "I don't care if it takes 1 year to get to .25 as long as they keep moving forward and progress is being made." It should be "I don't care if it takes 1 year for them to become a full broadcasting network...."
Frank and Co. are too concerned with investors. They need to be more concerned with the general public and start advertising this as a NETWORK and not an investors dream. I think he is doing just that by making sure the signal is up and bug free and that it reaches everyone clearly before the hard launch takes place. Wouldn't you be pissed if you just bought your subscription to this network and when you turn on the TV to watch it, it is poor quality garbage? I would.
Relax. The dow also sunk below 10k today. Not too pretty out there right now.

According to the most recent QTV Hotline message at 888-594-7766, the May 15 date is when they start testing the soft launch to make sure everything is working properly for the June 1 soft launch.

Great point beginner. I think it's pretty ironic, and sad, that most of us here were worried that Frank was too concerned about investors and not focusing on the Q Network itself...and now look what happens when he makes a decision for the good of the network (ie. making sure everything is set and ready for a high quality soft launch) rather than for the good of the investors. This move may not have pleased too many investors, but I still support QBID all the way and I have no doubt that Frank made this decision for the better of his company and I am eagerly waiting for that PR right around the corner that announces our advertisers.

I think you have it all wrong here. It has nothing to do with whether it will go live. The stock holders that have been in this for a while have stated over again its about trust. This company burnt there stock holders once and there was a understanding this time that we would not be lied to. The stock holders made it clear there would be no excuse to tell us a date for launch and delay it. I really didn't take a lot that was said about shares being bought back with a grain of salt either but as I said since they kept telling there stock holders the last time we are launching this date, no this date, no this date till it finally was evident that they decieved them all.
I think If someone is pissed now and wants to go off because of a delay they have all rights to that. Maybe everything will turn out fine but don't get mad at someone who wants out now.
But after saying that, I do think after we all cool off this will go back up over the next couple days and maybe good PR tomorrow will help. Rolling die, come on 7. 7 cents tomorrow that is. will we all can dream can't we, lol.

So some people panicked and left the island I thought all were happy that we have the "BIG PR FIRM" restructuring the image and setting QBID up for a win. If thats the case and they say June 1st and test on May 15th, Then thats the best way to go Im glad they have the helm and I will go by what they say from this point on. Also did Diane really leave just because of U4?????? Ready for AM and mid morn PR Dave

I am not a frequent poster so I will try to keep this post short and hopefully sweet. I have been in Qbid since it was trading at .0001. This was even prior to Dog bringing it to the boards attention.The reason I bought in was I recognized the power of the gay dollar from close personal experience. I live in one of the gayest cities in the country. Saying that being a business woman of African American descent I also understand the risks and stumbling blocks one faces when starting a venture that is considered outside the mainstream.I know first hand what Ms.Lamont accomplished here in New Orleans and no she would not attach her rep to a scam.Devenny has worked with NOAIDS and the jazz and heritage fest here along with two of the largest banks in this area.I don't think they would risk their rep by attaching to a scam. New Orleans is not large enough where a companies principals could fade into the woodwork and all would be forgotten by their existing clients. A pr was issued a while back that said 6 years was spent to try and bring this to fruition I can't see them getting that close while watching others in the mainstream media rake in multimillions by packing up and going home.If the achieve just 1% of the ad revenue estimated here in the Glbt community Frank and others will be very wealthy. So I really believe this time they r playing for the big $$$$$.Frank will step down at some point after launch begin a speaking career as a sought after expert in capturing the Gay dollar and those that hang in will make profit. For those that bought in at higher levels you and only you can determine your risk tolerance.OH and by the way the last trade was for .0126 after hours.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/-- Triangle MultiMedia Ltd., Inc. (QBID)
[b]Providing all technical and programming aspects are met, the network will have a "soft" launch by middle May 2004, running one-hour sampler programming blocks in various dayparts to give cable operators a chance to preview the network. Regular programming will begin transmission via satellite and will be available as a subscription channel on selected cable systems once all transmission issues have been resolved.
QBID: A Conversation With Frank Olsen Thursday February 19, 12:01 pm ET
"First, we are expected to have a test run on-air beginning in two months to run indefinitely. By a test run I mean we will be broadcasting on satellite a signal for our sales crew to approach advertisers and cable and satellite providers with. You must understand that we are building a network that will be on the air 24/7 and it is our goal to deliver a polished, consistent product with longevity. A few movies and a sitcom don't make a network.
[/B]
I think the part in bold above says it all. I'm no hot shot ex broker that has the one and the only QBID but I'm smart enough to know that nothings changed and plans are moving along as scheduled.
The market's in the toilet and has been for the last couple of weeks. Charts been bearish for the last week or two for QBID and no real news. Did some really think this was going to .10 just because someone said so. Check the news, charts, market conditions. Anybody that tells you none of that matters with QBID is full of it.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Stocks tumbled for a second straight session Monday on worries that interest rates will rise soon, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average below 10,000 for the first time since December.
QBID is a stock that has awesome potential and all indications show the company is strategically planning and executing the plans to launch.
My opinion is that all the BS hype caused the confusion with the testing and the soft launch. Now you possibly got 12 + people filing complaints with the SEC about QBID. Think that'll do any good. This part p|sses me off big time. If enough are convinced to file complaints do you think this will help QBID in anyway? NO IT WILL NOT AND COULD COST THEM A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY. COULD COST US MONEY TOO!
Because U4 got mad QBID didn't do what he wanted when he wanted he's going to try and hurt everyone else. That my fellow QBIDer's SUCKS. I like a lot of others thought U4 had a lot of knowledge and had a vision with QBID. He didn't, doesn't, and won't and anybody that follows U4 after this is a fool.
I'm sure I'll take a beating for this by some on the boards but I know a lot of people probably bought QBID at higher cost because of reading his "Mighty Me" post and are freaking right now. This just needed to be said.
I have no ill will against anyone but I've always believed that you "Say what you mean and mean what you say". It's about credibility, and U4 just shot his all to He|| today.
Just proves that if you shake the tree hard enough you'll even knock out the big monkeys.

Mark my words, "Everyone who dumps the stock at this level will regret it come June 2nd". I missed all the action today due to a meeting with investment bankers in Big "D", I asked the firm about Deveney and I was told that they are "the" PR firm to have. Remember that part of Deveney's job is to protect the company reputation by being truthful. Deveney may have identified May 15th as being to aggressive and corrected the schedule. Better to do this now and deal with damage control rather than keep missing deadlines time after time. This is a startup and things will be adjusted, if you do not have the patients for it sale all of your shares first thing in the morning and go buy as much of Coca Cola Company as you can afford. I can also tell from a lot of the panic post that there are several “beginner” investors in this stock, my advice would be to stay out of the penny stocks unless you have someone you personally know and trust, with a proven track record, to assist you in your DD.

You can't be too upset at U4 he probably lost allot and panic struck in, he is probably holding still on part of his shares because he has no choice the stock took a dive like every other stock today.

Make sure to listen to the hotline update of the update.
It says that the signal testing is starting on the 15th. They want to make sure the signal is up to par before the actual soft launch.
I still love y'all freaks! And I'm holding strong. The mood in here goes from elation to devastation at the drop of a dime (or a small percentage of a dime). At this rate we'll have to move our big celebration to a Taco Bell in Hoboken.
Do they have chalupa's at the taco bell??

Pulled this from RB. Anybody ever seen this at work.
Beware there here--The Basher Roundtable..
Now probably many haven't heard of the basher roundtable...
These are bashers that work for a particular MM and usually consists of 5 individuals that will work a company's stock on message boards for the sole purpose of share price manipulation and cause confusion and anxiety..
Here is how it works..
Mostly these individuals are easy to spot and at least 2 of these are just plain outright bashers that you can recognize on the daily message board circuit..But,these 5 will work one company with non-stop drilling and the choice company is usually about to gain much attention through positive everyday good numbers and potential earnings in the very near-term and will expect a share price rise accordingly..The MM's will play on such a company with tactics to gain the most out of the spread with absolute zeal..
These individuals of which 2 are outright bashers and one will be a newbie with another acting like your long or solid investor, with the 5th one,who is the most articulate and has extensive knowledge in charting or T/A and understands the fundamentals..
What happens is the bashers will of course bash a stock.These are the 2 bashers..These 2 will parley their negatives together and tells the board how the other is right on the facts and correct,they will introduce old PRs and will bring distorted information to a point,but not over do it..Here comes a newbie..He is interested in investing but doesn't know much about the company or stocks in general..He will always ask a lot of questions where the bashers will inevitably knock down the stock..This Newbie will post to one of the bashers with continous questions and feel that the basher is educating him and gains his confidence and he tells him how he appreciates his help..Now we have the long, or your solid investor who's opinion is basicaly like many others and is generally viewed has an alright participant of the board and very helpful..He will be confronted by the newbie and of course berated by the bashers,but his angle will always be viewed with much agreement as being very positive...Now we have the 5th individual..This person is very good at T/A and will make projections that seem almost real,but are generally far fetched and unrealistic,but the conclusion one can get makes for open discussion as very probable and makes you want to go out and buy more shares..He also knows the fundamental art of investing and is the head guy of this roundtable..
If you have ever been on a message board that has volume and the potential for positive share price increases, these 5 are solely their to create confusion and instability among investors and their sole purpose is having you buy and sell at their discreation..They are also very aware on how this works and their job is to make money..Remember an MM can handle 2-3 clicks in any direction and he has made his money,you on the other hand will have lost far more by selling or buying at this same sequence..
You see where this is heading!!
The moral of all this is never pay attention that would go against your better judgement or investment instincts..These message boards and the posters on these boards are all into stocks for a variety of reasons and not one is towards your best interest.

Some people act the way they act not because of reasons or rational thinking but because of emotions, that is all. Don't ever fall in love with a stock because Love is Love. I'm in Qbid because of the potential that this company can bring not just for me but for the whole marketing community and that is big plus I find it NEW nr.1 on a list that Viacom wanted but it was too late for a start up, lets wait for QTv and see Posts: 444 | Registered: Feb 2004
