Is anyone concerned about todays rally being on lighter volume? DH

As has been discussed here before, I think there are both pros and cons to selling real-time. But here's a scenario that just occurred to me: let's say they sell RT for $75m (roughly 1x trailing revenues), then use half the proceeds to fund & ramp up their growth, while using the other half to initiate a stock repurchase program because they believe the VOD business is undervalued relative to its future potential. At an average buyback price of (say) $4.50, that would be over 8m shares repurchased, or about 18% of the shares outstanding, and an even better chunk of the [large] float. What would people think of that? I would have to believe it would be pretty healthy for the stock price and the remaining shareholders...
