		<description><![CDATA[Following the first quarter earnings announcement on May 3, none of the analysts covering Scripps Network Interactive Inc. (SNI) have revised their estimates. The brokers have retained their estimates based on the belief that the company will benefit from the continuous growth in advertising and affiliate fee revenues along with its initiative to acquire channels in the international market. However, they remain concerned about the company’s decision to increase its marketing expenses in order to expand its viewer base, which might impact its bottom line. First Quarter Highlights On a GAAP basis, quarterly net income was $114.9 million or 73 cents per share, compared with $100.5 million or 59 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EPS of 73 cents was substantially ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We upgrade our recommendation on Virgin Media Inc. (VMED) to Outperform. The company reported strong results for the first quarter of 2011. These solid results were primarily attributable to solid top-line growth, higher operating income, and customer&#8217;s preference toward the company&#8217;s bundled services. Virgin Media&#8217;s bundled service offerings are gaining increasing market traction. Customers are now more inclined toward high-margin premium services, which offer faster speed. At present, 63% of its total customers subscribes to the company&#8217;s triple-play services. In the last quarter, quadplay penetration climbed 12% year over year. Moreover, Virgin Media&#8217;s Business segment performed exceptionally well, adding new enterprises to its high-speed fiber network. Strong free cash flow generation has helped the company to de-leverage its balance sheet and continue share repurchase. VIRGIN MEDIA (VMED): Free Stock Analysis ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading provider of advanced television services, TiVo Inc. (TIVO) reported disappointing third quarter fiscal 2011 results. A loss per share of 18 cents was worse than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 17 cents. Net loss for the quarter came in at $20.6 million as compared with a net loss of $6.4 million in the year-ago quarter. This was in line with the high end of management’s guidance of a loss of $19.0 million to $21.0 million. The year-over-year decline was mainly due to weak revenue growth, lower subscriber additions and increasing operating expenses based on higher litigation expense. Revenue Net revenues decreased 12.2% year over year to $50.9 million. The decline was primarily due to lower revenues from service and technology. Service revenues dropped 9.1% year ]]></description>

(TIVO) under which the latter will develop next-generation TV platform for Virgin Media that will support broadband video services and applications.

		<description><![CDATA[Comcast Corp., (CMCSA) has launched its first next-generation high-speed voice and Internet service for small and medium sized businesses (SMB) in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul . Leveraging on the DOCSIS 3.0 platform, this new service will provide downstream speeds of 100 Mbps and upstream speeds of 15 Mbps. DOCSIS 3.0 (also called Wideband network) is a digital channel bonding technique that creates one larger and faster logical pipe to support throughput of at least 100 Mbps. Cable MSOs are facing fierce competition from telecom service providers. Telecom operators are quickly gaining market share from cable MSOs by offering Mobile TV and other high-speed broadband services to subscribers.
