no i dont think he said that...
what he said was that he feals the pps should be at least .002 but definately around .005...
then he said that they were gonna have a "crisis meeting" next week to find ways to bring the pps up to correct valuation levels..
IF the pps is at .005 by next week i will be a rich man!!lol, those are pretty solid gains

I must say Frank was a little harsh and tried to control the questions and were it was going. I don't think he answered the questions as straight forward as a normal person would.
The information given wasn't anything really new and I didn't feel he went out on a limb to tell us anything.
Now saying that I am excited to hear that next week he will look into buyback shares to up the price. The price he said was .005 which would be a nice climb from our current level. Also he said the audit would be out by the 31. Now if what he said was correct that our networth is 1 billion and the OS is 44 billion that means the pps should be .02.(correct the math if I am wrong)
Overall I feel my investment is a smart one with a strong growing company that is turning into the next big deal. Once the audit is out we will know for sure about everything and if Frank buys back the restricted shares or stops the bleeding we will be looking good.
I would say that by October 31 if the audit isn't out or the pps is not past .0025 it might be time to move on and cut losses. JMO and don't buy or sell on my words. Just staing that if by Oct. 31 those things haven't happened you will no longer see me on the QBID board.. lol If you know what I mean..
pennies if the pps is at .0025 by oct 31st i could sell and with my profits by a new Saturn!!ahahahahahah
kinda weird to finally be thinking that Q is turning...
What i wanna hear now is that once those final restricted shares have been bought up, that Frank will not dilute until we are over .0075...
It would seem that the company is not diluting for costs, rather all the restricted shares are coming due which had to be over 5 Billion...
I still believe that it will take around december january before you see the monster reversal of the QBID monster!!lol
This thing will turn, and will move up slow and steady once they release the audit, become fully reporting, become breakeven and beging to turn a profit and buy back stock with their profits and maybe even a loan...
With the addition of lincoln, san diego, eureka, syracuse, rochester, chicago, maine and NYC i believe the company will finally become breakeven and begin turning a profit after about 1-2 months of having subs from the 4 new cities..
And as this has been said, every additional city from there on out will be icing on the cake as the marginal cost for each additonal sub is very low...
Starup costs are huge, once the profits come in on a network, look out.

Now with that said, call me crazy but i think Frank is a businessman with every sense of the word..he knows how to make money, so maybe you guys and Frank know something that i dont about this mary hartmen thing...
My feeling is just dont dilute the stock until were above .0075+ as that not to many shares...
Just leave us be for now Frank, let the remaining restricted stock release into the market, PR the new carriers, release the audit, allow the pps to get up to respectable levels and focus on the business...maybe in about 6 months buy it, but for not let us breath!
Just my opinion

Long Story I am still recuperating from the slight injury I received yesterday when I fell out of my computer chair after hearing Frank's first sentence. That was the first time I have ever heard him. That was a real experience listening to him. I wanted to help him out with every other word. Now I can say I have heard them all. I listened to Ted Turner in the early 70's at NCTA shows when WTBS and CNN were his dream too and yesterday I had the chance to hear Frank. One opinion I did have about him was that I think he would be the type of man that I could say to his face ( Frank your speaking abilities suck) and he would laugh about it too.
This is the first time I have posted here but I read them all. I am relatively new to all this, started 1 year ago. I Jumped into this Q thing last Feb because I believed in the concept and over the many years I worked in the Cable and Satellite industry I have seen them all become a success. I did a downlink for the Thrilla in Manila in 1975 at a hotel when all this started. There was one Satellite, RCA Satcom 1 at that time. Good old days of the CB Radio craze too. I was involved in the launching of CMTV in 1983. We started out with next to nothing transmitting from a uplink in Hendersonville,TN and look what it is today. CMTV is in around 70 MIL homes now. Of course that was 22 years ago and I realize things have changed dramatically since then. During those years it has been sold 3 times and I wonder what it is worth today.
I look at what Q has now compared to what we had then and I see some real potential for me to make some money to help the SS check. Q is catering to one of the most loyal and dedicated audiences you will find and that community alone has a very big disposable income. This network will be a success one way or the other. The financial part of this mess right now is shakey to say the least. It looks like to me that Frank has the facilities and the manpower to make it work right now. From this point on I don't see a need for him to spend a lot more money by dilluting the stock any more than he already has. Like I said before I am new to all this and I have learned a lot from this Board. I have learned the hard way a couple of times too. In the beginning I had to learn what all those abbreviations you guys use meant. LOL I didn't realize how difficult it would be getting info on a pink until after I had already stuck my neck out. I got it hanging way out there too just like most of you guys and girls. I didn't buy 500,000 shares expecting it to go to $1.00 either. I would give uncle sam all my social security checks back if it just went to .05. I would be thrilled to see it go to .02. I think that can happen in the very near future even though there is 44 Billion shares out there. The co Frank has built to this point I feel is going to break even soon. He has finally accomplished a lot in the past year by spending most of our money. Now it is getting close to the time that we will start seeing some return on that. Everything is in place and it won't cost Q any more to transmit to 1 million households than it does to 1000. I have seen it work too many times in the past and Q will make it work as well. My entertainment this evening has been writing this instead of sitting here reading one post after another. In the future all you guys be careful in posting all the BS because this is where I learn a lot from. I got it all figured out. I am going to hire a Basher,Pumper,Broker and Analyst so we can put our heads together and figure this thing out. So far the Stock Market Gambling SUCKS. I will stick with it though.
Hang in there and we will make some money. I know all you longs that have been here for years have heard this lots of times and I can understand your frustration. Things are looking up. It held today and it is not going to go any lower. We need to think positive now and get this thing rolling.

MT i'm inclined to agree with you on how to treat these shares for awhile. If they're worth more they don't have to dilute as much either. I hope.

Miller Although I remember Mary Hartman well enough to think it would be a good deal for Q to own the series, I agree with you about not diluting to get it. I think we are close to getting some of our money back and I don't want anything to get in the way. I hope Frank pushes to produce more income without diluting again.

Walgreens attacked over Gay Games tie Jen Christensen, PlanetOut Network published Thursday, October 20, 2005 A conservative Christian group based in suburban Chicago has threatened to boycott the Walgreens chain of drugstores because it sponsors the Gay Games, which will take place next summer in Chicago.
Walgreen Co., based in Deerfield, Ill., is one of the bigger sponsors of the games. The company pledged $100,000 in support of the organization. PlanetOut and Q Television are also high-level sponsors.
The Illinois Family Institute (IFI), headed by Peter LaBarbera, is leading the charge against Walgreens' support of the games. He wrote a letter of protest to the company arguing, "Make no mistake: the 'Gay Games' was conceived as a way to build acceptance for homosexuality, in the name of sport -- a perversion of the athletic ideal. I urge you to withdraw Walgreens' sponsorship of the 'Gay Games'; until you do, I will be looking elsewhere to shop when I normally would have gone right down the road to the Walgreens store near my home."
The group is particularly upset that the company says it is sponsoring the games as a way to give back to people living with HIV. The company said its pharmacists have proudly served HIV patients since the early '80s, and this is one more way to show the company's support of the community.

I understand how a lot of people wouldn't think a dvd of a series would be that big of a deal, but I have two examples to give you
The first is personal, I have a small collection of DVDs. I don't like collecting a lot of stuff, and I figure on-demand everything is so close, why bother. But over half of what I do have is two old BBC TV series. I have the box set of "The Prisoner" and of "Monty Python's Flying Circus".
The second example relates to the new movie "Serenity". This is based on a GREAT TV Series called "Firefly" that was out a few years ago. (Firefly, is that where you chose your screen name from?) The series only lasted a season and they didn't even show all of the episodes (They got shafted by Fox!). The thing is, when the DVD box set came out the demand was INCREDIBLE! It was so much of a shock to the studios that they put the money into making the movie to follow it up. (The movie was cool to BTW)
I guess what I am saying is, walk into any large store that sells DVD's and look at the box sets of classic TV shows and even shows from last year. The market for these is HUGE! Add that to the potential subscribers that might sign up just to see the show before it goes out on DVD and it could be a great deal. What matters is how much it costs to get it, and how they get the money to buy it.
Final note, Frank seems to have a good handle on what his target demographic is looking for. This show is over 30 years old and has over 300 episodes, that is almost like adding another original show but for less cost.(I hope it is less at least!)

Will & Grace Inspires West Wing by Bill Abdul, 365Gay.com Entertainment
It worked for "Will & Grace" but will going live help "The West Wing"?
NBC will air a live episode of the White House drama series featuring a debate between presidential candidates Matt Santos and Arnold Vinick on Nov. 6.
Airing scripted TV shows live is a rarity these days, although NBC tried the attention-getting device earlier last week with the "Will & Grace" season premiere.
"The West Wing," which has lagged in the ratings with its move to Sunday nights this season, is in the midst of the campaign to replace Martin Sheen's President Bartlet.
Jimmy Smits plays Democratic candidate Santos and Alan Alda the Republican Vinick.
The cast will run through two separate live versions, one for the East Coast and one of the West. The series' executive producer, John Wells, has experience with this: He was at the helm when "ER" opened its fourth season in 1997 with a live episode.
Speaking of debates, Q Television Network this week will debut On Topic with Chrisanne Eastwood, a current-events talk show with multiple guests and a gay focus.
"I am fired up by the chance to connect QTN viewers with today's newsmakers," Eastwood said.
"Gay people have outgrown the kiddie-table in television newstalk. On Topic will feature the GLBT opinion, PC or not—sometimes unfair, sometimes unbalanced, but always truthful."
Eastwood is a former host of On Q Live and has been a commentator on PBS's In the Life newsmagazine.
Oops! It was desperation time for fans of "Desperate Housewives" last week. A cable operator in California ran the first 50 minutes of the show in Spanish. ABC offers the show in both languages with Spanish on a separate audio channel. And, things were no better in Canada where the CTV network kept showing the same scenes over and over again for the full hour.

V study tracks gay viewers' favorites Eric Johnston, PlanetOut Network Friday, October 14, 2005 / 04:36 PM
A major marketing research firm released results of a study on the television viewing habits of Americans this week, revealing comparisons between gay viewers and the overall population. It found that gays and lesbians seek a mix of both gay-themed programming and mainstream TV shows.
Simmons surveyed 19,000 people over the past year. It found that gay men and women were more likely than heterosexuals to subscribe to cable and satellite TV -- 91 percent compared to 80 percent of the total population.
Analysis of the study by MediaLife Magazine found that gay people tend to favor premium channels, where they have been able to find shows like "Queer as Folk," "The L Word" and "Six Feet Under." And, no surprise here, the research found that LGBT people were much more likely to watch gay-themed shows, such as "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
One expert on LGBT television viewing habits told the PlanetOut Network that while the information about what channels LGBT people are watching is illuminating, he would like to know more about which specific shows they are tuning in to.
"It's the shows that drive viewership, not the networks themselves," said Richard Kravitz, publisher of the TV Gay Guide, which publishes information about TV shows of interest to the gay community.
Chris Wilson, president and chief operating officer of Simmons, noted, "Advertisers want to know more about the LGBT population." His company estimated the annual buying power of the LGBT population at over $600 billion.

And does anybody have an insight on this quote from Frank...
he was continualy saying at one point, we are going to be getting "7.95, 7.95, 7.95,7.95 checks each month...
Now obviously that is the rate at which they are charging for the station...But i thought that they split it with the cable providers..i know that was at least the rumor going around the boards..that is something i would like clarifed because that would be pretty good if they had a contract set up where they got the entire 7.95 every month...
Anybody know a defiante answer on this???thanks

there may be deals with certain carriers that they pay them so much per month for thier commitment to carry us, and we would recieve the entire amout off of the monthly service, and pay them out.
that doesnt make sence though as the carriers would collecet the sub fee and pay us our amount.
I guess he was just using it as an example instead of going into a complete discription of how the fees are collected.
but what his point is that every sub gives them a fee and it is a monthly fee. and the more monthly fees they recieve the more money they make. it cost them the same to send the signal out to 1 person as it does a million persons. the difference is that at some point the number of subs will outweigh the cost of sending out that signal. The question that i had Qed up for Frank was, how many subs will be required to break even.

great i didnt listen to the other ones available so im glad to hear that it worked out.
I did 3 test recordings prior to the start of the call to ensure the best sound. i played with volume, and distance and actual placement of the mike to see what worked the best.
obviously it was worth the effort then.
thanks for the kind words

there is a picture of bill gates and his crew back when they started Microsoft, and everyone of them look like a bunch of hillbillies, looks and sounds mean nothing. here is thier picture
its what they know and what they do with what they know that counts.
Frank somehow came up with 24 million to invest into Q.
how much do you have that you can invest?
I rest my case.
