Haha long shot i know

Sky sports news hd will be good. No point in sky withholding sky news hd either as we already have bbc news in hd
I'd speculate that if these channels were offered, that we'd be invited to up our HD tax to £10 if we want all in HD. But it's not beyond the realm of possibility that both SN & SSN will just be placed in XL and stay outside the HD tax.

In lots of things I agree with you, it does. But I was specifically referring to the broadcast rights market where territory restrictions are commonplace. What I meant was, have Amazon got the rights to stream HBO shows in the US market only or does this extend worldwide?

The report is on an American site, reporting to it's (largely) American readers.
