I gave Virgin the chance to match my expectations in terms of HD channels and price but they couldn't.
SKY Atlantic wasn't a must for me, it was always something my wife wanted. It doesn't take you long to get drawn into the channels programming. The Following and Vegas have joined Ripper Street and The Walking Dead as my must watch programmes. Via on demand I've started to watch Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones from the start in HD. I'm recording Blue Bloods season 2 and 3. I'm just waiting for season 1 to either be repeated or made available on demand. Just watched The British back to back. Not as good as some BBC documentaries but still enjoyable.
It really would be difficult to now go without SKY Atlantic. |
That's what I've been saying for ages , exclusive content is as much about retaining customers as it is attracting new ones , all the media are reporting that 'House of Cards has been a massive success for Netflix and a high percentage of interviewed people said they valued their subs more , Netflix have vowed to bring more Orignal programming to the service and declared it a success , this is the route I believe Sky are trying to go with Atlantic a mixture of original programming and premium US content from HBO , Showtime etc.
