Here is my quick review of the Innfo Cypher for news and stocks via cable:

If you are served by a TCI cable company and get CNN, phone 800-7PC-NEWS 
for a brochure about X*press service.  Ask for Steve.  
The stories are transmiited along with the closed captioning info. 
They are for the most part short features and news headlines that 
you might see in USA Today, Knight Ritter, Copley News Service etc.  
The up-to-the -minute stock quotes will cost you about $25 more a month. 
The stories cover a range of topics with the emphasis on business and 
finance.  You can choose to block certain categories you do not like 
or pick only those that match the 16 keywords you have defined.  

The menus use highlight bars and Business Vision works well after
using mode bw80  first.

You move around with the cursor keys and should delete a story once
read since the info is held in your ram.  Once you have filled it,
no new info comes in.

It seems like a good value for the one time price.  The advantage I see 
is reading what you want when you want it.  

If I can answer any other questions, write via e-mail 
or phone 412-681-4543  some evening.
