Well, my hope was that Sky Atlantic, if it was coming, would be one of the remaining Sky channels we would get by this spring at the latest as the result of the 2013 talks.

The fact that we now have Sky Sports News HD and Sky News HD has got me wondering if that is all we are getting out of the deal resulting from those talks.

So really, I think those talks have not progressed in the way I expected, and we are going to have to wait longer for this channel, although I do think it will come eventually.

I've now had given to me box sets of Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones, and I bought the last series of Mad Men so the main programmes I was annoyed at missing I now have in my possession.

However, I hope that VM negotiates something with Sky soon because there is now talk of them hooking up with HBO to make some more good dramas. It would be a shame to miss out on this joint venture. I wonder if Sky are prepared to put in additional investment without making better efforts on getting a decent return for this?
