To clear this up once and for all and this is in the memo recieved. SKY only own exclusive to the first run airing rights to HBO content, they also own the first run on demand content except for pay per view services such as Amazon, Blinkbox etc. As Amazon have HBO ppv content then it is certainly possible for it to show up on VM.
VM could get airing rights if they come to an agreement with Sky on Sky Atlantic, however nothing has been agreed regarding this.
Hope this clears all this "no chance" rubbish up once and for all or "sky atlantic is coming soon" rubbish too.

No they do not both Blinkbox and Amazon have rights to HBO content all be it on a ppv basis http://www.blinkbox.com/TV/Studio/HBO

Also remember FOX showed True blood first not Sky.
