Unless Sky decide to drop their current deal, which runs out in 2020 (highly unlikely), there it will stay.
Of course, PB, but I was referring to an on demand HBO site like Netflix.

Clearly, the existing contractual arrangements with Sky need to be honoured, but 2020 is only 3 years away, and my guess is they will be designing their site now in order to be ready by then.

Incidentally, there's nothing to stop them from creating a site right now and offering their content on a pay per view basis, as far as I know.

John Malone seems to have the right idea. I wonder when the acquisition of Startz and Lionsgate will start to benefit VM and LG subscribers?
