They could do this dropping an episode a week of one programme at 8pm on a Monday, another at 9pm, another at 10pm... And so on in sequence.

Realising they have some spare airtime they could run trailers, or sell adverts. They could even break up the programme itself - giving the advantage of the captive viewer to sell to advertisers.

Once they've done this for say, um, 168 hours a week they could publish the sequence in which programming can be viewed first run or, if required, repeat showings to pad it out a bit. They could even explore innovative ways to supply content advertising funded, perhaps to non-subscribers, if only such a transmission system existed that people could receive such programming by default. Broadcast, if you like, into their living rooms in an accessible form. Like you just switched on your TV and it's there.
