This is where a proper HBO service would be different (based on how they operate in the Nordic region); all back seasons are always available and new episodes are available the day after they aired in the states.

It is such a shame that Sky have the rights tied up for such a long period, as in my view, it will prevent a proper HBO service launching in the UK for a long time.
