Sky Atlantic is also available live and on demand through NOW TV, Sky's new internet TV service.
The output deal simply states that HBO content will continue to be supported for the other Sky platforms (NOW TV and Sky Go) in terms of both live and on-demand content.
They do not state on-demand HBO content is exclusive. SA live content is clearly exclusive, but I will happily wait for anyone to correct me and say where on-demand content is exclusive too. The whole statement is really rather ambiguous in my (very uneducated) eyes.
In my (very uneducated) eyes, HBO could easily launch their own paid for on-demand service, and stop massive amounts of piracy whilst still keeping Sky customers happy

It would be a good idea for HBO shows to be made available for whoever wants them and negate the need to subscribe to Sky Atlantic to do so. I don't suppose Sky would be happy, but who cares about them
I wonder how many VM viewers would use an app to obtain HBO shows or SA via a TiVo app?
