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.
I totally agree with the arrangement in your first paragraph.

As far as Sky rights are concerned, my understanding is that the exclusivity only relates to first run shows. This means that once the new series has been shown, they would be available to other platforms.
