SiGe announces 2007 results

April 1, 2008

I love watching SiGe as they grow. As longtime readers know I have a background with the company.

Today, SiGe announced that it had Sales of $69 Million US. Earlier this year they raised $20 Million from their previous investors and Samsung (one of their largest customers.) They also hired a new CEO. At this point the company is now 12 years old and has had over $140 Million in Venture Capital Investment. Who ever said High Tech was easy?

New Apartment… what’s the state of OTA HD in Ottawa?

March 14, 2008

So I”m about to start renting a new apartment down in Westboro (a nice little neighbourhood in Ottawa).

Beyond the excitement of a change in venue and a nice area to hangout in… I have a dilemma, I don’t really watch TV anymore, except for hockey and the occasional whatever’s on. But i do enjoy HD - So my question is on OTA (Over The Air), I know high definition is available for free in Ottawa from CBC, but I’m also hoping to complete a hat-trick of CTV and Global in HD at the same time. Does anyone know if they’re broadcasting here yet?

Also does anyone know of any good antennasIi should be looking at? I’m not expecting to pickup the US stations or PBS but that would a great bonus.  :)
