Only Atlantic has the main HBO shows, which to me makes it a specialist channel. It doesn't have all the US cable TV shows, and I believe there are two HBO shows still on Fox because they already had the rights (True Blood and Eastbound & Down). But the fact that they have the vast majority of HBO shows makes it a specialist channel in my eyes, irrespective of the other shows they also put on the channel. I don't think anyone in the US would think that the actual HBO channel that they are able to subscribe to, is not a specialist channel.
Fair enough PB, I think this could rumble on and on. If it's okay with you, I would like to agree to disagree!
