Yes, except that it would cost us more to get these shows. However, if Sky only have exclusive PPV rights for the first run material, this holds out the possibility that they can do a subscription deal with Amazon as they have with Netflix, and we can have the slightly older HBO material. I'd certainly be happy with that and it gets over Sky's obstructive attitude on this matter.

Dave, there are other solutions available to VM to access HBO shows. It's just a matter of time before we get these, one way or the other. We are not entirely in Sky's hands, I'm pleased to say. Amazon may well be the answer for us if we have come up against a brick wall with SA.
