A few years ago there was a streaming site and app that showed most of the freeview channels, they got taken to court by the broadcasters as it was an unauthorised retransmission. They lost and had to stop showing all the channels apart from the main ones, BBC1, ITV1, CH4 and CH5.

I can't for the life of me remember what the site/app was called but after that court ruling VM would be able to retransmit the ITV channel i'm sure.
