Actually, I'd go even further than that... Sky rejig their channels every 4-5 years and once the HBO/Sky deal is up, I'd be surprised if it were renewed on the same terms. So, there might not even be a Sky Atlantic in 2-3 years time.

There is already talk of a spin off to Game of Thrones plus I'm sure HBO will be going all out to find new content to match.

Actually, when you first get Now TV and you see all the box sets on there that have been on Sky Atlantic, it is a revelation. It's not just about Game of Thrones at all, albeit that is the 'market leader'.
I am still wading through those box sets now, and having subscribed to Now TV only last summer, I remain impressed by all this content that we have missed by not having this channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol
Ratings suggest its all about game of thrones sir
It is one of the most cliche and ridiculous shows ever of some fantasy land with dragons and strange little wars. So dungeons and dragons. But throw in some tits and sex scenes to make it seem cool
Fair play it has worked based on ratings but it's a very weird and utterly laughable geeky show
Sky use it as their crown jewel in sky Atlantic. Once it's done and over Virgin media will get the channel
100%
