If you watch Game of Thrones on Sky Atlantic you have to put up with a long ad break after about every 10 minute of the show. It's unwatchable. And to add insult to injury you're paying a subscription.

Television in Britain has 3 main models:

1: BBC tv paid for by licence, no advertising.

2: ITV, paid for by ads, no subscription (much less advertising than sky)

3: Sky, big subscription and wall to wall ads.
