The insinuation lying behind your post is that I quit a streaming service in favour of a live TV channel. Why would I do that when all my viewing is time shifted, almost exclusively now on demand?

I WAS making a point. A point that there is now a trend towards quitting streaming services, which you have admitted to being a part of. Yours, and any other individuals precise reason for quitting isn't relevant. Churn is Churn.

He seems to forget that the timeline is here for everyone to see.

Now is rumoured to be getting a light version included in the entertainment pass too.

Somewhat more that a rumour. Perhaps we'll be able to observe OB flip-flopping in the near future.

So let me get this straight. Sky are losing HBO content they had exclusivity to and aired on sky atlantic and NOW TV etc.

Thats moving to HBO Max launching next year? But Sky are getting the legacy shows to repeat on sky atlantic and their customers get an ad supported version of HBO Max?

is that right?

Sky has rights to some new seasons of existing HBO series non exclusively e.g House Of The Dragon and some of newer HBO series will be both until they naturally expire but that's it.

Sky Atlantic isn't the only channel effected, Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries and Sky Cinema (Warner Bros Pictures) are effected aswell, even Sky Max is effected and has been in recent months with DC content.

More or less yes.
