So Box Office is officially shutting down, but its no great loss as the linear service is now 20 years old and they now have the Sky Store anyway.

Sky is to close its twenty year old pay-per-view TV platform in January 2017, as the broadcaster seeks to boost online services.
Sky Box Office, first launched in 1996 via Sky's analogue service, soon became one of Sky Digital's early selling points, offering subscribers access to numerous feeds containing sports and movies, with multiple showings of films to allow a near on-demand service on linear TV. In 2011, the main part of the service became Sky Movies Box Office, later Sky Cinema Box Office.

It will now close on the 4th January 2017, with viewers being directed to the Sky Store as the preferred alternative way of buying movies. There is no further impact on the remaining Sky Cinema linear or on-demand service.
