i work for an iptv company and let alone being rights issues globaly (dunno how this site is allowed to operate lol) its also got to do with hardware.. There is a standard that most tv companies are going by which is called bbtv simply its all about wmv and mp4.. wmv simply because their drm is the best for protected media. Since vip.tv use real media they would have to re encode their library and its not an easy task
I develop for samsung and fujitsu and its all getting complicated. I have also been in on some meetings with the BBC and even some of their programs they aren't allowed to display online all to do with production companies rights
