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
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_...o%2Cnull%2C207
Also remember FOX showed True blood first not Sky. |
And presumably, if the Amazon deal comes off, VM can then turn to Sky and say, "Actually we don't want or need Atlantic, since we can get the shows through Amazon."
