It'll be an excellent addition to VM if they ever get it. Like I said earlier, quite a bit of filler but some of the HBO shows on it are some of the finest shows on TV.

I use HBOGO mate myself i agree HBO certainly does have some great content.
Also Atlantic has showtime shows too i really do hope you guys get Atlantic on vm sooner rather than later, i've asked around and all my sources have said no info yet about it.

The thing about SKY Atlantic is that you'll either love it or hate it. If your not keen on American drama then the channel will not appeal to you at all. Is the channel on in my house all the time? Maybe 2, possibly 3 hours per week at most. Is it full of filler? Definitely! However for me it's a must have as the handful of shows I do watch, or have watched, are top quality. Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Penny Dreadful, The Knick, The Leftovers, The Following, and The Borgias are fantastic TV.

Well hopefully it will come to VM as I'm sure many VM subscribers who don't get the content by alternative methods would enjoy it. I appreciate your updates theone so I'm sure you'll keep us posted if you hear anything.

Only have it via Now TV but you've listed some great shows there Chad. For me GoT, The Following and True Detective have been my 'must see' shows of the last few years. Let's hope HBO keep the quality coming. :)

Best thing I ever done was got a NowTV box over Christmas - well worth £6.99 a month (after my 3 month entertainment card runs out) for Sky Atlantic and the ton of on demand & box set stuff :)

BIB

Don't pay that much, you can buy a 3 month pass from Game for £15. They email you the code, so i'm told. Still using the free pass myself.

Id expect Atlantic to come once virgin media lose free bt sports so in a year or so. Losing free bt sports will free up money to get Atlantic to keep the punters happy...
