One of the reasons that Atlantic is sought by many on VM is that Atlantic is the only place to get these US cable shows. Netflix and Lovefilm will often get the US network shows eventually, but Atlantic is the only place that I am aware of to get HBO shows. And before anyone says Blinkbox, that is way too expensive in my view.

Sky hasn't restricted Atlantic to just US shows - much of their homemade drama has been tucked away on the "exclusive to Sky" channel too. Adam Buxton's BUG; Hit and Miss; The British; This is Jinsy; Walking and Talking - all original Sky Productions, and more to follow in the coming season.
Passingbat's correct that the HBO and AMC shows don't appear on UK Netflix and LoveFilm, nor iTunes for that matter, but they do appear on Tesco's BlinkBox service and in HD too, shortly after they finish showing the full season on SA. Game of Thrones seasons 1-3 and Boardwalk Empire et al are all there. Blinkbox can be accessed via PS3, XBox 360, and the newer LG, Toshiba, Philips and Samsung smart TVs. I've tried it on the iPad - it works okay, but is iTunes pricey - £17.99 for a season in SD, £23.99 in HD. More info at http://www.blinkbox.com/

You talk of dreams good sir. I picture us running in a meadow holding hands with Jake Humphrey alongside us. The sun is shining and horses run between us.

But this is a pipe dream. I have been hurt too much.

Your wife only finds out if you misbehave in the first place dear Henke.

Yes one hopes between now and the end of Friday we will get final deliverance Henke because if we don't get them l expect their phone lines to be pretty busy come the weekend onwards.

Excellent article

[denphone]

Yes it is a very interesting read and Virgin will have to be nifty on his feet in the coming years to cope with the threat of the big content owners who hold many of the aces and one wonders what plans Virgin have got to cope with a ever increasingly changing market.

I did acknowledge that they were on Blimkbox, but said that in my opinion that was too expensive a way to get them.
