Proposed merger
Hi, I'd wait till the 30th for objections if any, and then complete the proposed merger, with the other page converted into a redirect. --Gurubrahma 12:24, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Oops! Sorry about the pre-mature merge. If anyone objects, I'll certainly revert, or someone else can go ahead and do so. Otherwise, let's not revert the merge just because it's premature, okay? Sorry for my haste! Tedernst 16:39, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Product quality
This article fails to mention that the products of this company are inferior crap. They are buggy, worthless and awful. This information must be added to warn potential customers of walking into their trap of sub-par software. --80.220.68.44 17:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

If such information can qualify as encyclopedic then fine. JasonHockeyGuy (talk) 03:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

(linux-dvb) Pinnacle 80e support: not going to happen... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.76.90.106 (talk) 05:54, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

these were early & rather vanilla mpeg video servers developed by HP, who sold their entire broadcast division to pinnacle in around 2000. at the time, my employer (viacom in europe) had a dozen or so of these things, & we were sent new plastic fronts for them when the rebrand happened. I have no proof of this- it's fact, but wp regards such things as hearsay until you get them published in a glossy magazine, at which time they become gospel. not sure how this approach to 'verification' is going to work when there are no paper publications to cite, nor do I understand how hacking down hundreds of trees & getting something printed is in any way better 'proof' of something that an actual eye-witness or expert account, but there you are. at the time, pinnacle also had the thunder servers on the market, which had the benefit of some basic inbuilt graphics functionality; the HP acquisition broadened their offering, but the two lines were not cross-compatible in any meaningful way, & so you could not mix them to resource-share in a single infrastructure. having divested themselves of the broadcast manufacturing & sales, & handed all the inventory over to pinnacle, HP then surprised us all (me, for sure) by offering to continue to honour their service contract on the machines. naturally, I declined on viacom's behalf, because I knew all the engineers had gone to pinnacle with the product & the spare parts. then along came omneon & changed the game again.
