I really want to know a thing.. But it is off-topic..

I have seen Start Hub's channels in Singapore.. In channels like HBO, Fox Prime Movies (Star Movies), NGC, Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel etc.. In the interim advertisements of these channels, they are always showing the promo of Star Hub network, like a promo for a channel available in Star Hub network with channel number.. At the time when I was in Singapore (Dec 2012), they launched History TV (out History TV 18) on their platform.. All the channels where showing promo on this channel..

What I actually want to know is, whether they are the channels from actual broadcaster or Star Hub is using the channel logo and program content on their platform, so that they can place their own advertisements??
