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.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19845250 Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:05:25 EDT Re: HBO has ALWAYS been anti-newtech http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19845111 Nightfall :

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.
