Check out the trades. A 400,000 SELL @13.50 at the close. The market is unimpressed.

Sitting right on support level. A fall from here is down to 11p.

DDD ---> 3p or less.

They can't do a worse job!.....hopefully!

Agreed. On the nail. In a nutshell.

DVDA, not sure Samsung would have renewed their license for another couple of years if that was on their agenda and I also don't think it has much impact on Yabazam even if that is what they went and did since presumably Samsung would only make their own stuff for their TVs and not for their competitors like LG. I'm pretty sure that Samsung could go and do deals in Hollywood to get the same 2D movies and TV shows that Netflix has got but in the end they make the Netflix app available instead as Netflix handles all the headaches of doing this. I'd prefer to have money from as many of the 3D products out there as opposed to just Samsung's - while they are the big dog of consumer electronics, they are still only 25% of the TV market which leaves 75% of the value on the table otherwise.

To me the most interesting RNS today was that they changed their brokers. Looking back at the share price since Canacord came on board in mid 2011, the company has grown at a fair old clip and the market cap has gone backwards to the tune of 50%+. That suggests that the company was executing but the broker wasn't. Let's hope the new crew can do a better job.

New broker is good news. Should introduce DDD to new institutions.

Still nuts that the share price is 60% below where it was 2 years ago taking into account all the progress DDD has made.

Would be nice if an institution came in and bought 5 million or so to clear the seller out once and for all.

Just desperate attempts to sell 3D TVs before 3D finally dies.

I'm not sure I necessarily agree. If Samsung build up their own library of 3D content, they may decide they no longer need to include '2D to 3D' conversion capability in their products.

not sure if this has been posted.

Oddly - new site and new content?

Looks better to me.

you would have thought they would have updated it prior to going live ffs.

Edit: Nope - new site, but same content.

[bonio10000] 25/7/2013 11:16

Dvda

Would be good news - Samsung can commercialise content far better than DDD so we would get more revenue, even on a micro payment basis.

We can then close Yabazam and save the overheads.

[zipless] 25/7/2013 09:57

Was the agreement at the same price or did Samsung get the price down? They have already reduced the price previously. Don't forget that they only get pennies per TV.

[dvda] 25/7/2013 09:30

The other license is for offline 2D to 3d conversion. I assume Samsung will use this to develop their own library of 3D content that they can then offer to their customers across all 3D enmabled devices. If that's the case it would be bad news for Yabazam, but for me that's a waste of space anyway.

[poombear] 25/7/2013 08:54

Not sure about the other Samung license, any one know what this is specifically?

[poombear] 25/7/2013 08:52

Samsung renewal confirms that ddd tech will be relevant on the next gen 4k tv's as well. Still looking out for development in the handheld space, one of the major players will have to reveal their hand in the glasses free device soon.

[dvda] 25/7/2013 08:41

Renewal of the TV Deal by Samsung is good news. I'm surprised teh share price hasn't jumped this morning. I might even buy a few for a short term trade in the run up to H1 figures.

[bonio10000] 25/7/2013 06:43

Nice.

Should stop the crying from posters worrying about the Samsung TV deal.

Looks like Samsung are still well interested - otherwise why extend the licensing tech deal?

Good stuff.

[zipless] 23/7/2013 12:23

Yes, that's a lot more like it because you can't get 3D by itself. SKY are using the packages to hype up 3D. 3D broadcasting is not doing well in any country in the world. 3D TV is expected to shut down in Australia as they take their content from ESPN, which is stopping. That applies to quite a few countries that take ESPN content.

3D is just doomed.

[dvda] 23/7/2013 12:05

I'm not clear on what Sky are saying with their 500,000 figure for 3D. Looking at their website, 3D appears to be part of a bundle that includes 48 HD channels and Box Sets on demand. So have they got 500k people signed up to 3D or 500k people signed up to a bundled package that includes 3D?

[zipless] 23/7/2013 12:01

200,000 SELL first thing this morning.

DDD ---> 3p

[zipless] 23/7/2013 10:46

An old story from July 9

It doesn't make up for BBC abandoning 3D and ESPN stopping in the US.

3D broadcasting is almost dead. Sky may be increasing, but it is from such a small base that it is insignificant.

It was free on the BBC and people still didn't want it.
