Two more books are going to be released to complete the story. I would think there are either 3 or 4 TV series (if they split the next two books into two series each like they did with the current one) before the TV series catch up.
I vaguely remember reading that HBO had commissioned ten (10!!) series in total. It's not just the author who might not survive to the end...
I don't believe that's the case. GRRM on his blog stated that HBO have commissioned the next two series and he thought that was great as they only tend to commission one series in the future normally.
I knew I'd read it somewhere. It was the opposite, them saying they wouldnt stretch it out that long:

Well I did say vaguely recalled!
Just watched this week's episode. It's a goodie.
