That's my feeling too. If SKY offer them £150 million, or more, for another 5 year deal I think HBO will take it. Of course you never know, BT might swoop in for the content to start their own version of SKY Atlantic. The SKY basic channels aren't on BT so BT might get innovative in regards to their entertainment portfolio.
