ESO, here is an excerpt which I believe answers your question.

"I am pleased to announce this important technology partnership," commented Shiva Prakash, TiVUS' chief executive officer. "This new partnership replaces our former agreement with EchoStar?, who announced in August it was to electively begin shutting down its satellite-based IPTV delivery service, ViP-TV. By the end of September, the system was completely shut-down

.

I am not sure what default system kicks in but it took a few weeks to provision the entire Tivus channel line up.

It is unclear when the work was started and completed.

It is clear that it was not a good thing as SP called it a 'sobering announcement'. As Wagget points out, I am assuming that if the announcement was sobering then the work did not get done before Echostar fully shut down at the end of September and that it added a layer of cost and delays.
