I suppose it come downs to how you interpret the wording of the statement.

As I stated earlier, I agree with your thoughts and I would not be surprised to see HBO content become available via some form of monthly subscription. HBO really have Sky over a barrel now, if Sky want exclusive first run TV shows, they have to dance to HBO's tune.

Either way, I am still not overly bothered by the content SA show. GOT has never done it for me, although I am getting pressured by the current squeeze to give it another go.. We have compromised and I have downloaded a sample of the book on me Kindle..
Here is the article about this, Harry.

The collaboration includes an extended content output deal to ensure that Sky Atlantic remains the exclusive home of first-run HBO programmes in Britain and Ireland through 2020.
