Name me one company that has been open to this kind of technology. I can't think of one in the TV programming business.
Vongo. Vongo is owned by Starz. I thought Starz was owned by a cable co consortium.

Once the VideoCipher II came into play, TONS of programers were interested in selling subscriptions. The much lamented Sunday Ticket due to it's only being available via DirecTV currently got it's start on C-Band Sat. The NFL embraced us with open arms!!!

At one point, C-Band subscriptions made the market a virtual cable system with more subscribers than any single cable operator.

I remember the battles in the 80's to be able to subscribe to HBO via big satellite dishes.

Not all that unusual..HBO is Time-Warner.
