HBO obviously thought it more lucrative to do an exclusive deal with Sky than to make it available to more people. This seems contrary to the way HBO distributes content in the US, where the subscription option seems available with most cable/satellite services.
The trouble is PB that Sky offered them a huge amount of money and they took it and thus we are now in the position we are now sadly.
