Erinn, a Community Content Manager at SKY posted on the SKY help forum:
"I am not one to query the validity of this particular site however, i will categorically state that the inference of any "cease and desist" relative to Sky staff and Sky Atlantic is completely unfounded."

Just to back up the statement on my blog, posted in good faith, about Sky staff being told not to promote Sky Atlantic as a Sky exclusive. Here's the original post in the previous Coming Soon thread here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35...-post1804.html and there were two similar posts at the same time over on Digital Spy forums. I also asked a Sky rep I know and she said that they were no longer promoting it as a Sky exclusive.

Many are also Highly regarded, award winning shows.
For some unknown reason Sky have also chosen to put some US Network shows on Atlantic, which really belong on Sky One or Living, but that doesn't detract from the original premise of the type of specialised content Atlantic was set up for.
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.
You're fine Harry.

Alas, I do not know enough about US network TV and how it works, so I will take your word for it.
The only point(s) I will make is that SA can (for the reasons you have stated) show a wider range of shows and genres than other specialist genre channels, giving SA a distinct advantage over many other channels.
In my eyes, if SA was truly "specialist", it would only show US cable content (is that the correct terminology?). I imagine this would mean it would show much less original content, and therefore less coveted.
If I follow your reasoning correctly (happy to be corrected) a channel like Alibi will never be able to show (for example) "The Following", thus being denied the chance to show original content. I only mention Alibi and original content in response to Alibi being highlighted as a channel which had it's amount of original content compared to the amount of SA's original content.
It's great that a channel can air these shows, I just think it's unfair to claim SA is a "specialist" channel in comparison to channels like Alibi which deals in one genre only, and, following my understanding of your post (which may be wrong) seemingly has it's hands tied over what it can and can not show.
I agree SA is coveted by many, but that are plenty that do not care for it either.

LOL, it's not a form of adult pleasure I have ever tried, although oddly I was asked if I would like to try it on more than one occasion by more than one person whilst on a date with a barmaid I found it funny after a while, but she got increasingly annoyed through-out the evening, but that's a different story for a different forum altogether
I wish I was the male equivalent of my avatar though. I would certainly be spending much less time on this forum

His prediction and my ensuing love affair with bomberAF reminded me of a modern day Romeo and Juliet story. But with a modern twist. Instead of suicide at the end it's the non appearance of BT sports
