The other option could be they launch a HBOGO service similar to HBOnordic which offers content from other providers too.
I think quite a few people will take the sub tbh, but i think Sky will probably get something like HBOGO included in a sub too.
Most providers are charging $17.99 -$19.99 for HBO , HBO On Demand and HBOGO. I'd be amazed if the UK gets a version whilst the Sky deal is in place but that's just my opinion.

I'm still optimistic about that, but given the Sky exclusivity deal with HBO, the first run shows will have to be aired on Sky Atlantic first. The shows are likely then to be accessible on a PPV basis (as they are currently via Amazon Prime) for the following two years and after that could be part of an HBO subscription.

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work and I would be happy to take an HBO streaming service on that basis via the TIVO.

I can wait to watch material under a subscription three years after becoming available as a new series on Sky Atlantic. After all, I'm a year behind watching my recordings!

You are correct i've not long got of phone to my friend in the states and she has confirmed that she is only paying $9.99p/m as she is on a special offer for having showtime otherwise it'd be $19.99p/m which is crazy as it's $19.99p/m for both showtime and hbo anyway lol.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I decided against getting Now TV when they pulled all the previous series of Game of Thrones when the new one started airing.

The programming available via streaming needs to be reliable - I don't want to start watching a series only to find it pulled, and I don't want to be locked in to a pre-set restricted period to view it either.

I much prefer the Netflix model. Watched Breaking Bad over a period of about three months and still haven't completed the first series of Orange is the New Black. I'm not happy at all with watching programmes back to back although I know some enjoy doing so.

Spot on mate, i think this is how HBO will launch HBOGO globally by doing a similar service to HBOnordic.

Sounds good. Let's hope it comes to TIVO sooner rather than later!

.
This is where a proper HBO service would be different (based on how they operate in the Nordic region); all back seasons are always available and new episodes are available the day after they aired in the states.

It is such a shame that Sky have the rights tied up for such a long period, as in my view, it will prevent a proper HBO service launching in the UK for a long time.

And how many in the UK actually know anything about HBO Nordic ? Very few I'd say.

I totally agree with the arrangement in your first paragraph.

As far as Sky rights are concerned, my understanding is that the exclusivity only relates to first run shows. This means that once the new series has been shown, they would be available to other platforms.

I was purely comparing the services. The UK needs an HBO service such as HBO Nordic as it is clearly better than Now TV for premium cable content. I fear that Sky's long term deal with HBO will prevent that and leave us with the inferior Now TV version for a long time. I sincerely hope that I am wrong on this.

It would make sense to do it that way and I hope you are right.

What's the whole spotify offer? It appears in "offers" but offers me the opportunity to link my account to spotify (what is the point?) and states there are no deals currently. I don't even see why vm were advertising spotify?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
If you were HBO, would you prefer a) guaranteed income over 7 years from a single company who handle everything for you in a particular territory and are paying a premium for exclusivity or b) implementing IPTV technology, billing systems, customer support, marketing and everything else needed to go it alone?

Maybe also worth pointing out that HBO Nordic is in partnership with and delivered by a local company with extensive pay TV experience in that market.
