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?

You will never have a HBO streaming site whist HBO have a deal with Sky. I expect an announcement of a renewed Sky/HBO deal significantly prior to 2020.
Who want's PPV for HBO type content? Not many I suspect; it works out way more expensive than a subscription streaming service.
