Fact is no one on here knows the actual facts. So as with so many statements (on this and many other topics) its pure speculation and guesswork.
Still can be somewhat amusing on a quiet day

Actually, it is a fact that Sky offered Atlantic to VM for an undisclosed cost that VM refused. VM are quoted in several online articles as saying so.

Sky Atlantic programming changes regularly, like any other channel. Not everything on it at given time is of interest to everyone. As the OP has eluded, waiting for a DVD release is an option, which can be resold after viewing.
I think some of us need to get over the fact that live TV is the be all and end all of programme viewing. On demand will become king hence Sky's heavy investment in that direction recently. On Demand competition will be just as ruthless, but I think you'll find that Sky won't be able to obtain so many exclusives.
