Gemstar-TV Guide International (GMST)

(A Top Pick Nov 30/07. Up 11%.) Acquired by Macrovision (MVSN-Q).

(A Top Pick Nov 30/07. Down 19%.) Had a takeover offer for a higher price than the present price, but are using shares. Believes it will go through.

Remote TV channel guide. Only 25% of TVs are digital so there is still 75% to go. Every single new digital TV issued with an on-screen guide has to pay this company. Still own the old TV Guide magazine that has been losing money. They have to fix this and turn it around. Have put themselves up for sale and have a number of bidders looking at it.
