I don't listen to GD but based off a list of their songs I'd guess Minority.

EDIT: or Waiting.

I will refrain from posting while I hang my head in shame, more things will probably whoosh over it in the meantime.

Very true. SKY are not looking for advertising revenue. The below statement suggests SKY see more value in keeping the likes of SKY Atlantic exclusive rather than wholesale it to Virgin and BT.

"A basic thing to know about Sky is that the majority of our revenue comes from subscription not advertising, which means we don’t need people to watch every minute of every day - but what we do need shows that prompt people to subscribe and keep them with us once they’ve subscribed. So noisy shows that we can promote heavily that people will obsess about."

Why would you have a HD tv and only want stations in SD, also Atlantic has many new series. Not bothered about that Game of Thrones right enough, not interested in pixies or elfs and stuff (is that what that shows about?). There is barely any channel now that doesn't repeat stuff. Not moaning, just saying.

Because Sky Atlantic is the only place in the UK that you can get HBO series broadcast via TV. HBO produce many highly acclaimed dramas. It's that simple.

Just stream the **** online. Sky Atlantic might be the only TV program with it on, but it is not the only way to watch the shows. Just plug your laptop into the TV and it will be the same.
