No proof. My post was intended as a reason why SKY would even consider such a deal. SKY Atlantic has always been viewed as nearly impossible for Virgin to obtain. The idea of some content arriving from HBO / Showtime courtesy of SKY to me seems plausible.

That's the only logical answer i can think of right now m8 my normal sources haven't yet confirmed any of this as of yet.

Sky's profits have fallen* so there's an incentive for it to try and make more money out of its content. It's done this successfully with Now TV but I think it's more likely now than ever to come to some kind of deal on Sky Atlantic. As I've suggested before, this might be as part of a deal with VM for VM to deploy Sky AdSmart.
(*Sky's costs have risen due to increases in sporting rights costs and the £ falling against the $ 15% since June 2016 whilst advertising income has fallen.)

Only info we have about UHD is it's supposed to be arriving in summer this year on VM, won't be from SKY though.
Our guess would be from the likes of Discovery and Eurosport.
