If I remember correctly, the Voom spin off includes Cablevision's other channels including AMC, We, etc.
So selling off just the sat. assets and remaining a content provider makes the most sense.
The situation I just mention is the most probable to me, seeing as both companies are keeping relatively quiet lately.
Now is actually the best time for E* to move in, because they can work out a deal before the spin-off, basically a direct sale from Cablevision. Then Cablevision can proceed with the spin off of all of their cable channels. If Cablevision sold the assests directly to E* (instead of after the spin-off) then they would make back many friends on Wall Street, by paying down the debt they accumulated during the startup.
