But they don't have a platform to hive off. They rent space on someone else's satellites (SES). All Sky own is the encryption technology and of course the all important programming rights.

If VM sold off vmtv without putting in proper safeguards into the contract about gaining access to future channels, then it shows just how stupid (as usual) cableco bosses really are.
