I have a couple of friends (who are gay) in that area too, actually one of them is named David and I wish Frank would get that area up and running, Tampa and Orlando. I have emailed Q and Richard Brown about it but of course no reply, but good job to you on getting the word out. IMHO that area would help expediate the Q explosion tremendously!

C-Band Sat dishes are the State flower of West Virginia... the big 6-8 foot dishes that were out for years before the small DBS dishes. The C-band dishes are the ones that pick up the signal from the same Satelites in space that the cable companie, DirecTV and Dish pick up the signals from. DirecTV and Dish the RE-Broadcast the signal back up to their own Satellites and then back down to the end users. By nature of the compression and bouncing the signal back and forth up and down blah blah blah, the big dishes have a far superior quality picture.
Not to mention, you can see Vladamir and Olga withthe morning exercise show from the Ukraine.
Hope this answers your question.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that C-band is what most of the networks use to distribute their signals to the local television stations. As long as the signal is not encrypted, it can be seen by anyone with the right equipment; the dish to receive c-band is larger than the dish antennas in popular use by retail customers today (I think 4 to 8 ft across is typical).

Jonas The only point I've tried to make today is that Frank DID NOT promise the audit on Halloween, therefore we should not be disappointed if we have to wait a couple more weeks for it.
I just listened to the CC again to make sure I remembered Frank's words correctly. He answered the final question of the CC by saying he could not guarentee the date the audit would be finished. He added that he had a "self-imposed" deadline of Halloween because Halloween is a special day for the gay community. And he joked that he would dress up as Kate Smith and sing "God Bless America" if the audit was ready on Halloween.
But we have to remember that the audit is being done by an outside independent agency, and Frank is not in charge of the audit or its completion date.
I AM NOT telling you to quit posting until Monday. I just want to remind everyone not to panic if the audit isn't released on Monday. I will be delighted if it happens but not disappointed if it doesn't.

Not sure if C-band is used to distribute signals. C-Band is a common "free to air" satellite; it may be accessed by a standard dish (18-36") using a receiver such as the Dreambox (http://dreamboxusa.com).
You can use a standard DISH Network dish to pick up the signal; it just has to be aimed properly. Because of the many different satellites available, most people choose a 36" toroidal dish, which can run up to 16 LNBs or satellites. There are also many people hacking Dish Networks and DirecTVs system using the programmable Dreambox along with software. Of coarse that is totally illegal, but it is perfectly legal to receive any "free to air" signal. A list of stations may be found at:
So....a standard 18" dish aimed at the proper satellite along with an off the self receiver WOULD BE able to pick up QTN. No hacking or programming would be required.

My father had a system about a year ago, he lives outside of West Palm Beach in Jupiter Farms, he was using a 36" toroidal dish and the reception was perfect. I think the key is in proper aiming of the dish. I wish I was in Q then! He has since moved to an area that provides cable.
Just for kicks, I am going to call a local installer and see if i have room for one in the back yard. I live in a townhouse, they are not attached but really close together.

That was me asking that question and Frank would not commit to a date, but said he would like it to come out on the 31st because the GLBT like to celebrate that day. However he did not commit to that day either because he also said every time he thinks he is done the accountants ask him for another piece of paper. The only time frame he has committed to is the PR stating 60 days. Now whether that is 60 days or 60 business days I don't know so as worst case scinario I would go with the latter of the two. I know everyone on this board wanted a confirmed committed date and that is exactly what he did not give us.

I don't blame you for being ticked and yes he mentioned the end of Oct. but thhe also has already issued a PR about 60 days. He will miss Oct.31 wether we like it or not. I don't like it but it is reality. I hope I am wrong but the pattern says no.

quote:by the way he says profits are about 1,500 a day
If that was the case, we would have been audited a while ago. I think you meant revenues. From the CC or Doc's visit I think I heard they have 100 employees. $1500/day is 45,000/month or $540,000/year. Divided by 100 employees, that's only $5,400 per year.
QBID is far from self-sufficient, IMHO. The audit better clear up where the rest of the money is coming from.
quote:So don't get upset if the audit doesn't come out until next month or even December.
He said to allot for another 60 days in an investor relations statement in September. Then he said Halloween. I'll listen to the CC to confirm it, but I remember in the play-by-play, someone posted "audit done by Halloween". I suggest we all hit the tape and post the timestamps of the times he mentions the audit and when it will be done. I'll post a time to FF to here if I find anything conclusive.
quote:big name auditor
Again, if he had one, he would have PR'd it. On the off chance he would NOT have PR'd it, they would have been done by now. This is a PR done internally by a QBID employee, which means it's not SEC-verifiable, which means no new exchange, and probably no short-term intentions to move to one.
I can live with that as long as the audit looks good. I do not have my hopes up.
1. Actual gain in value of QBID. Legitimate gain.
2. Drop in RSI for no reason. Usually a sign of rampant dilution.
3. The MACD crossing Divergence, buy signal.
4. The MACD crossing Divergence, sell signal.
5. Massive volume on a down day. Dilution.
6. Repeat. Dilution
7. Repeat. Dilution (probably to buy studio)
8. Seeing a pattern?
9. Yes I am.
0. Well, the only thing I can think to say is: Looks like we got the money to buy Mary Hartman now. GOOD JOB FRANK. I HOPE IT IS WORTH IT, BUT I KNOW IT WON'T BE.
I look forward to seeing this audit on Monday. If I don't see it Monday, I'm probably going to sell with the billions of shares that also bail, so I can at least get out before .0001 and Frank steps down, allowing someone else to do the R/S and screwing you all out of the last of your money.

I am new to the stock market as well as the QBID stock department and I only have a few hundred thousands shares. I have been looking into buying more; however, I have been reading some that are expecting the pps to reach 0.0002 or even 0.0001. I read the CC manuscripts and I was concern about the large buy-back of shares. It was said that there was currently 20% more shares to be BB. If that is the case wouldn't that hold the pps down?
It was also mentioned that the BB would be done by the first of the year and profits should be seen by mid-06. Wouldn't that mean that the pps would increase after the 1st of the year?

DIG I know we are on the same side and will someday share the rewards from this investment . . . so I won't argue what Frank said or meant in the CC. All I heard was that Halloween was a "self-imposed" deadline. If he also stated definitely that the audit would be out by the "end of October", I must have missed it. Sorry if I've misled anyone.

Thanks, buck. I knew that someone from this board asked Frank about the audit during the CC but I couldn't remember who. You've confirmed what I remember Frank saying, but others have said that Frank also said "end of October" elsewhere in the CC.
In my opinion, it really isn't important what date Frank gave us because he has little control over the audit completion date. If we want a complete, certified audit (as I am sure Frank does), we just have to wait for it. We can be mad, we can be disappointed, we can whine and we can threaten . . . but that audit is going to come when it's ready.
If I were Frank, I would do my absolute best to get the audit released on Halloween. But as I've said, I don't think Frank has that power over a difficult independent audit.

Dude, what in the h*#$ are you talking about? $1500/day is PROFIT from the other studio they rent out. Did you really listen to the CC or had you made up your mind about what you were going to hear before you actually listened?

So can you share with us just what is coming from the "word of mouth" amongst you and your gay friends in regards to your individual interest in QTN?...For instance, after your research, was it the programming and/or content matter that attracted you?
Have you seen LOGO or Here!? If so, then why would you find a liking to QTN enough to invest?
And just as important, what are your friend's opinions? Do you all just see the potential of "Q's" business structure to successfully compete in it's market and/or again, after doing your DD, personally recognize "Q" as having preffered content over LOGO and Here!?
As I am an investor of "Q", it's always good to hear any and all opinions from those of you within the gay community.
Thanks
-------------------- Faithfully 5M Long
Triangle Multi Media will be the all-time Cinderella story!
Content is defiantly what sets QTN apart from LOGO, I have not seen or done any DD on HERE. They are both great and will both succeed. There is a great difference between major “networks” and entertainment “channels”. LOGO is a gay entertainment channel providing great entertainment shows where as Q is a gay network providing news, reality shows, talk shows, comedy shows as well as entertainment. Most of the people I speak with are interested in Q for that reason.
Everyone I speak to do see the potential in Q, many of these people are not from a business background but realize a network such as Q is much needed for the gay community. I think that Q will not have a problem competing with other gay network/entertainment channels. QTN is QTN….LOGO is LOGO, it is really hard to compare the two.
Q will, in my opinion, become known as the gay network of choice. Once we sign on a few more carriers the word will start circulating within the gay community and we will see Q explode. From there it will grow very rapidly, it’s only a matter of time.
There are several key states with large gay populations: California, New York, Texas, Florida and Illinois. First goal is to get a carrier in a key city of each state from there we should be able to sign on carriers throughout those states. Looks like Frank has done his homework, and been on key with signing on new carriers. He has been doing a wonderful job but where is Florida??? Come on Frank, I can’t wait any longer. LOL. I have been making constant requests to Brighthouse Networks here in Tampa Bay; they are probably starting to get really annoyed with me now. If it wasn’t for living in a townhouse, I would have already gone out and purchased a dish to receive QTN.

I just wanted to point out that I was incorrect in the post above. I remember my father recently having a "free to air" satellite system with a 36" toroidal dish and him being able to receive many c-band stations. Futhermore, I know many free to air satellite packages are accombianied with the toroidal dish. Therefore I incorrectly assumed that he was receiving c-band. Upon furthur investigation, I have found that the standard dishes, 18-36" cannot always receive c-band stations. Only the stations the rebroadcast in the Ku-band may be received by these dishes. Unfortunatly QTN is not one of them. So to receive QTN via free to air, it would require a receiver such as the Dreambox, mentioned above, and a large dish (8-12').
I am sorry for any confusion that I might have caused. Better to admit my wrong now than to here about it later :-)

I could almost swear that Frank's waiting to release financials after we bounce off of .0001 a couple times. The mere fact that he hasn't published them is why we get a daily decline. The only reason I can dream of that he would hold back is the possibility he will buyback one huge piece of this company.
Presently I'm holding a fat chunk of change earmarked for QBID & must report that I have a hair trigger waiting for that report.
