In your opinion. Personally a lot of my favourite shows are on Atlantic. I have yet to see Game of Thrones, The Borgias, The Newsroom or Boardwalk Empire elsewhere. I think they also showed Bored to Death and House of Lies which I really enjoyed as well. Personally its a channel I would love to see on cable as it has many great high quality US shows.

Something that doesn't bother me as I thought that G.O.T was rubbish

I would agree with den - I found GoT enthralling, and never predictable.

What I'd like is for Catch Up TV not to constantly tell me that it's not available due to demand (there's a laugh in itself), my V+ box not to crash constantly, for channels to be put into a logical order so that +1's (eg) are beside the main channel and for a programme guide that is better than something done on a ZX Spectrum.

Extra channels are not my priority, but it would be nice to have The Travel Channel, though, oh and more foreign channels and for the subtitles to actually work on TV Monde.

TiVo will sort out some of the issues you have.

I can honestly say Den, that since moving to Sky, i've not watched anything that has been shown on SA

Never a truer word spoken Den , my favourites currently airing on Atlantic are Blue Bloods and Friday night lights , my choices probably aren't too others taste but that's the beauty of multi channel pay TV. 'The Following' with Kevin Bacon also looks worth a go for me.

Anyone else not annoyed that BBC HD will become BBC2 HD?
This means that Borgen, The Killing etc will only be in SD from then.

Surely its better to have the current compromise channel.

Will the BBC also have to regionalise BBC2 HD as well?

You don't need SKY or SKY Atlantic to legally enjoy HBO content on your TV.

http://www.blinkbox.com/Search?Search=hbo

All you need is a Samsung, LG, Philips or Toshiba Smart TV. Alternatively other devices such as XBOX 360, Playstation 3 or LG Smart Blu-Ray all support the Blinkbox app.

Sure the episodes are a little costly however people, with the right equipment, can enjoy SKY Atlantic programming right now in their living room. The best American drama without subscription.

Virgin should try and get Blinkbox onto TiVo as an app, offering preferential rental rates. If virgin can’t get SKY Atlantic, surely this would be the next best thing.

ITV 4 showed a couple of seasons of that a few years ago and then abandoned it after moving the broadcast to the early hours of the morning. I remember not being that impressed and stoped watching season one after a few episodes. But I kept seeing good reviews so gave it another go when I saw season one going cheap on Amazon. I'm glad I did, as it is a really good show. I then bought each seasons from the US as soon as they were released because, at that time, only season one was available in the UK
