CT launches free online TV & Video portal site: www.ctonline.tv
Computer Troubleshooters USA is proud to announce the launch of CTOnline.tv, a new website designed to fill a need among home computer users. “We noticed that, especially during the recession, more and more people are choosing to reduce or discontinue their satellite or cable TV service since many of their favorite TV shows are now available, legally, online.” says Chip Reaves, CEO of Computer Troubleshooters. “Many people are choosing to connect a simple home computer to their big screen TV and watch internet video right from their couch. The challenge was trying to find and organize all of the high quality video sites which people want to watch, without many of the useless or dangerous sites. That’s what we wanted to accomplish with CTonline.tv, and so far it looks like a huge success.”
CTOnline.tv is a free site, designed to be a “home page” for home computer users who want to find the best quality internet video sites. The site is also designed to be regionally customized, since many online video sites (especiallly TV networks) are only accessible from within their country of origin. A UK version of CTonline is already being tested, with more countries planned for the future.

CT joins MerryMeeting
February 1, 2008
To All CT Master Franchise Owners, Regional Directors and Local Office Owners
From Wilson and Suzanne McOrist and Chip Reaves
Re Investment By Merrymeeting, Inc. (MMI)
We are very pleased to announce that effective February 1st, Merrymeeting, Inc (MMI) has acquired majority ownership in CT International and CTUSA. As many of you know, MMI invested in CT USA in December, 2006 and has been working closely with us for the past year to make various improvements to the U.S. operation and develop a longer-term strategy for both CT International and CTUSA.
From the beginning, we have felt that MMI would be a good partner for CT for the following reasons:
1. MMI is an investment company which is exclusively focused on investing in and developing franchise companies. In total, MMI currently owns or controls 6 franchise companies with more than 1,700 franchised locations, approximately 25% of which are located outside of the U.S. As a result, the MMI management team has an excellent understanding of franchising, can help us cost-effectively manage CT and develop value-added systems and processes for the CT office owners.
2. MMI is owned by John Davies, the CEO, and his business partners, the Enthoven family. The Enthoven’s are South Africans and have a long history of international business development. They currently own and operate large businesses in Africa, North America, Asia, Australia and Europe. In fact, both John and the Enthovens feel that the scope of CT’s international business operations is one of the most appealing aspects of our business.
3.MMI has the human and financial capital to invest in CT and help the organization fulfill its’ full potential.
Wilson and Suzanne will have a financial interest in CT for the next 2 years, but will be winding down their involvement with the organization. Chip will be assuming day-to-day responsibility for coordinating CT International’s activities as well as CTUSA. We anticipate adding additional staff at the head office in the U.S. in the near term.
Chip and John Davies will be scheduling visits with most of the Master Franchise owners and various franchise owner groups throughout the world during the next 6 months. John is anxious to meet as many of you as possible and hear from you as to what the head office can be doing to better support your local businesses.
If you have any immediate questions, please contact Chip at chip@comptroub.com or +1 404-477-1300 ext 701.
