I'm not so sure about them being "cash strapped". The business has been turned around from a £48m loss making operation at the time of the last sale, with a far more healthy £20m profit for the 6 months to August 2013.
True, Desmond has turned it around and is now looking to sell.

They still don't seem to want to spend any more than they absolutely have to though eg no C5 HD on Freeview, putting Channel 5 HD behind a paywall on satellite etc.
