That's not the way it would be done; Sky have paid for that exclusivity and it is a done deal.
What I think could be done in the UK, is HBO Now launching as an added subscription option on Now TV. Those who want full blown 'all access' could take that option. Those who are happy with limited catchup time frames could stick with the Entertainment pack. Similar situations occur with Hulu, which only has the last five episodes and Hulu Plus, which has back seasons. It's the same with CBS catchup and CBS All Access.
There are several permutations as to how this could work; even removing HBO content from the Entertainment pack? I'm sure that cleverer people than I could work something out.
The difficulty would be how Sky and HBO would sort out the financial side. But without Sky's cooperation, HBO Now is a non runner in the UK until after 2020.
