Re: 350% Nothing to be excited about, it was consolidate 5 to 1. Share price is actually lower than pre consolidation.

Re: 350% It's done it twice before which is why I keep it on my watch list for a laugh. 350% is the highest jump I have seen it do. 250% at close of day was the last record I saw.I have no idea who MTV are or what they do but they make for entertaining rises and falls. The last two I saw plummetted the following day but I am not offering any recommendations, simply what I saw previously. Well done to all who happened to be in the right place at the right time

350% How can a share jump that high?

RNS breakdown I have read that RNS and read it again. Nothing ground breaking in it. We knew about Chromecast, I also always thought the FFWD REW live TV was standard. Pass through Wifi? Little pointless I feel. But it did rattle the share price. Even if it was for a little less than an hour.

Oh dear Oh dear they are after a consolidation, and why? Perhaps another issue of shares after that?So they have no more money left, nowhere near enough coming in to fund them and no one will lend them any cash. So they are skint......perhaps they need to get a compromising picture of the baby eating Bishop of Bath and Wells! This has now, officially, become a comedy, sadly, not a very funny one, unlike Blackadder.Odds on they go bust within 3 months.

Re: See... I will agree with you on this. An RNS just to say that they have updated the software and submitted it to Apple does not do much for my confidence, or anyone else. Especially the SP. I would expect constant updates from Motive fixing bugs in the app. I am surprised it has taken this long to release the first one, I would expect at least 5 or 6 updates in the first 3 months of a new app. Software testing can never really be done until its rolled out to the end user. The user is the biggest bug spotter. I will give it to Len, very cleverly worded RNS. But no meat on the bones...

Re: See... BlackadderI have been critical of the company because over the years they have promised soooooooo much and delivered very little and yet all we have had is massive dilution. As I said in my last post I would love for MTV's SP to increase, as I have a token 1,000,000 shares. Having had many more than that.The BOD have had plenty of opportunity to buy into their own company but have failed to do so.Interestingly the market reaction is? So the market, possibly, thinks the same way as I do: the news is good, but we need sales and cash through the door. It's always the cash, or lack of it, that kills you as a company. You can have invoices galore and projected sales but without the cash through the door you'll go bust. I hope I'm wrong, but I think MTV are just too late as some of the technology might just not be what the public/business want, but some it is worth something and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up being swallowed up by another company at a big discount.They need a few million a year just to keep their heads above water, without the cash coming in it's either dilution or debt! Which we have lots of already.I am happy to be wrong and I'm waiting for other people who have invested in MTV to have a proper debate about the prospects here. Sadly, there isn't much of a constructive debate because all we have is what the BOD say how great their products are. So my response has been for a long time, so why don't you buy some shares!At an SP this low there are massive opportunities to double your money, and more, but it's too risky in my view. With news like today this should have been one of those times, but, sadly, it's not ask yourself why?

Re: The bail out begins Mike the comment was made on 5th and the price has dropped since then. We have hardly had a recovery in 2 days! I would love for the SP to be way higher than it is at the moment as my token 1 million shares that I have kept would be worth something to shout about.I emailed the company last week and they haven't yet replied. I wasn't expecting a response to some of the points as they would say we are in a closed period. But for them not to have a response to their ineptitude of making sure the numbers of shares that the directors have and what percentage that equates to is, to be frank, rude and shows the contempt they have for their shareholders. A simple response would have been nice. I would love to be wrong, but I am not expecting great things from MTV. Ask yourself the question, why have they not bought shares in their own company when they could have at the end of last year?

Re: The bail out begins I have emailed, I await a response, but interestingly their own website is wrong on the number of shares the BOD own, I have pointed this out! Unbelievable.

Re: The bail out begins Unable to issue shares MTV will go bust and if there's still a Tablet business Granite will pick them up for nothing, only a matter of time.
