Having the fact that the company is operating under a CVA listed on the website wouldn't do very much for customer confidence.

A phoenix company could buy the business names, EPG slots, licences, etc from the liquidator at knock down rates. New contracts would, most likely, be needed for a phoenix company to be carried on cable and possibly Freeview.
