Absolutely , Sky are the masters at promoting things and I understand VM's stance of not overpaying , however I think people are looking at Atlantic over the course of a year rather than just a nights schedule this year does seem a pretty good one with shows like The Borgias , Game of thrones , Blue Bloods returning plus new shows like House of lies , Luck , Game change plus many more.

In the case of Game of thrones at a cost of 27.99 on DVD or 36.99 Hi Def , I'll stick to watching it included in my tv pack 365 days earlier ;)

It only costs 30 quid for a box set if you buy it new and then choose not to stick it back on ebay after you're done.

I have to agree with Marty, the amount of fuss is not proportionate to the content we're missing.

Couldn't agree more that's the beauty of purchasing shows , but my preference would always be to have it included in my TV sub as its simply more cost effective if you are a pay TV subscriber anyway.
