AATW is a small dance music label, the channels are some of the least well known in a crowded market.. The change of name may go some way to getting more viewers by using a well known brand name.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
I've just found out that Netflix has all the Sky Atlantic programmes on there that you could ask for! So I'm no longer holding out for Sky Atlantic to appear on Virgin - Netflix will do very nicely - and without all the ad breaks too!
At least we know that Netflix is likely to launch this month. This will complete my wishlist, frankly!

Netflix does not contain any of the HBO programmes (not the UK Netflix anyway which is what the TiVo will show)

Boardwalk Empire, Blue Bloods, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, the lot! Now it appears that the link I was given was the US link! I'll take a closer look when I get home tonight.

Sadly, even the US Netflix store doesn't have HBO content (I've just checked). It does have the AMC series Mad Men (not season 6 yet though), Walking Dead and Breaking Bad but I can't see any HBO series there, even older fayre like Sopranos or Six Feet Under.

In the UK Sky have exclusive streaming rights for HBO shows. In the US HBO use their own service.

You can subscribe to HBO on demand using a VPN for about £7.50p/m.
You do this via HBONordic.

Tesco's BlinkBox has UK HD streaming of the HBO shows, albeit only after a season has finished on Sky Atlantic. Pricey though.
Aside from Game of Thrones, Sky Atlantic hasn't really got anything that will appeal to the mass market. Sure, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire and (arguably) Newsroom are great shows, but for me Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and House of Cards are better...and all on TiVo by the end of the year.
