- Entertainment Ltd. was established two years ago to capitalise on a market opportunity created by consumer nostalgia for old television programs of Irish interest. The company buys the rights to such programs from their original producers and then distributes them through three distribution channels: "E - DVD" (a DVD manufacturing and distribution operation); "Celtic Net TV" (a subscription - based TV service operated by Entertainment Ltd.); "E - Licence" (which sells licences to terrestrial broadcasters who wish to show some programs owned by Entertainment Ltd).
