Proposed merger with PVI_Virtual_Media_Services

Some time ago, User:Disavian proposed merging with PVI_Virtual_Media_Services, but I don't see any reason to. None of the qualifications in Wikipedia:Merging#Reasons_for_merger are met and they're two completely different companies that have different services...so I don't see a point to merging.

I agree; there is no reason to merge these. A "see also" might be appropriate. I think I will handle that myself. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 19:40, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like a section (in both articles perhaps) as to what exactly the relationship between the two is. There is the bit in the "First and Ten" page:

<quote>In August 2001, PVI counterclaimed against Sportvision in the Federal Court action, alleging that Sportvision's virtual strike zone and virtual signage products infringed a PVI patent. In 2002, the companies settled the law suits out of court through a cross-licensing deal.</quote>

But it still isn't too clear to someone who doesn't want to wade through the entire 1st And Ten article. Jimw338 (talk) 03:18, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy folks. Rick Cavallaro here. A couple of things... I'm listed in this article as Rick Cavaliers. Can I ask someone to correct the spelling? Also, it sounds as if I single-handedly developed the puck tracking technology. I was in fact the project manager and lead engineer, but we had a small team of contractors that were very much involved in the development of this system.

With regard to PVI - we were competitors, but friendly with them when working in the field. Ultimately PVI was sold - half to Sportvision and half to ESPN. I'll be happy to offer more details on this or other stuff if you'd like. I think it'd be nice to mention that Sportvision has dozens of patents and a number of Emmy's.

Thanks. Spork33 (talk) 03:45, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
