How many at £7.50 a month for purely HBO content would subscribe because I think the numbers would be low.

I'd imagine there going to have to recruit a considerable amount more subscribers before posing a real threat to the UK/Ireland movie rights.
I think you underestimate Netflix, they have a lot of money and a lot of power in the rights buying industry. I bet they are not far away from having more subs than Sky Movies.

This is a very interesting article though about Netflix possible appearing on Sky http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2013/...flix-carriage/
It would be interesting how they do this if it does happen because Sky have adopted the download system and not the streaming system.
