To be perfectly honest many have found other ways to view some of SA's content now.

Spot on Den. And I'm sure this has been said before, but those who really wanted it would have gone over to Sky by now.

IF i wanted to i could watch the latest game of thrones in HD 30 minutes after it is shown and i dont have sky ;)

I had the same coversation with CS. She told me that Sky were asking for £18 per customer for SA. The new owners said there's no way they will pay that and cut off talks. As a work around I've bought the Now Tv box. It's only £4.99pm for the Entertainment pack, has no contract, playable on 4 devices, and you can get a fair bit content.

Whatever she told you bud one suspects her nose grew longer then Pinocchio afterwards.:nono:

But, but, but.......

I thought it was all about VM being to cheap to bid the right money for the channel...........

Re: No Sky Atlantic on VM for a "long long time"...
 

Aye spot on.

Gotta love how the sky bloke worded it "long, long time..." to send a message to everyone on twitter to basically come to sky. Look sky its exclusive we get it. I haven't joined sky in the past 2 years because of atlantic. I won't join sky purely for atlantic. It can be a "long, long time" all you want but i still wont join.

Really bloody stubborn lot.

Eventually all the shows on Sky channels will be shown elsewhere..I can wait..;)

Re: No Sky Atlantic on VM for a "long long time"...
 

Doesn't seem much point getting it now with all the shows in season 3/4.

Re: No Sky Atlantic on VM for a "long long time"...
 

I agree the Now Tv box (when it doesn't crash!) is an option for Atlantic...

thirty quid for a box and six months seemed a good deal to me....

Re: No Sky Atlantic on VM for a "long long time"...
 

That's the route I've taken. I've had a few issues watching films when big games are on Sky Sports and the first episode of Game of Thrones didn't go smoothly but we tend to watch the latter on a Tuesday night with no problems and not had any problems with films for a while. I paid around £24 for the box and 3 months of the entertainment pack (which has had a month added on due to the above issues)

I'll be cancelling the now TV entertainment pack when Game of Thrones finishes, not because of the level of service but more because there's nothing else that I fancy watching.

Yes it would be more convenient to have Atlantic on VM but NowTV is a more than acceptable compromise in my view.

Re: No Sky Atlantic on VM for a "long long time"...
 

I think now that I would be happy to have programmes for Sky Atlantic on demand/streamed. We have already missed countless series of Games of Thrones and Mad Men to name but two, and so the value in getting SA as a linear channel has faded for me.

It's pretty extortionate if you are just getting it for SA when the channel is in Sky Basics on Sky. I'm not paying for it.

Re: No Sky Atlantic on VM for a "long long time"...
 

When you cannot get Sky a working piece of kit and six months including streaming for 30 quid is a good deal.

Re: No Sky Atlantic on VM for a "long long time"...
 

I looked at what they are showing on Sky Atlantic, and none of it interested me at all.
