I'm still optimistic about that, but given the Sky exclusivity deal with HBO, the first run shows will have to be aired on Sky Atlantic first. The shows are likely then to be accessible on a PPV basis (as they are currently via Amazon Prime) for the following two years and after that could be part of an HBO subscription.

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work and I would be happy to take an HBO streaming service on that basis via the TIVO.

I can wait to watch material under a subscription three years after becoming available as a new series on Sky Atlantic. After all, I'm a year behind watching my recordings!
