SD or HD, doesn't bother me.
Yes Sky could have sold the sd version to other platforms and still kept the HD as an exclusive. Most people would just watch in sd and they would have made a tidy profit out of customers on other platforms. Personally, like you I am not bothered about Sky Atlantic itself. It is where this is heading that bothers me. If one platform has far more cash than other platforms and is able to keep that content to themselves then where does that leave us a few years down the line? It will leave us with the same number of choices as Ford Model T owners had of colour. They could have any colour as long as it was black. We will be able to choose any platform as long as it's Sky.
