As I access Atlantic content via Now TV you could say I am already paying an increase over and above my VM subscription to access the channel but the fact that I can cancel my Now TV entertainment subscription when game of Thrones finishes suits me perfectly as I am only paying extra while the content I want is available.

If there was a small increase across the board, for the whole year I wouldn't be so keen as I only need access to the channel for about 10-12 weeks in the year. So with that in mind I have decided to vote that I wouldn't be in favour of a price rise, based on the assumption that the price rise in the poll would be across the board and not just for those who subscribed to the channel.

However my advice to anyone desperate for Atlantic content (and the series they are keen on hasn't started or past episodes are available on demand) is to sign up to Now TV as opposed to waiting and speculating as to when or if it is going to arrive on VM.

If you allow me a rather crude analogy, if it's chucking it down with rain and you want to be dry do you stand there getting wet, hoping and speculating that it will stop, with several passers by stating that they are pretty sure it'll stop soon as they have had words with the weather man or do you move indoors (i.e. move to Sky) or do you buy an umbrella/cagoule to maintain your happiness in the short term?
