ITV has confirmed its three year venture into pay-per-view has come to an end.
The ITV Box Office channel, which was available on Sky channel 493, via 'on-demand' on Virgin Media and carried through online streaming platforms, was officially withdrawn from service.

Customers who had accounts with ITV Box Office have had them closed.

The service launched in February 2017, with the exclusive UK broadcast rights to Chris Eubank Jnr's world title fight. But the channel suffered with a bad reputation among some viewers, with many events on the channel accompanied by reports from viewers having trouble getting the service to work and with issues getting through to customer service.

ITV Box Office, alongside the now defunct ITV Encore, was part of ITV's re-entry in to providing traditional pay TV services. This has now been abandoned in favour of subscription video-on-demand services, such as ITV Hub+ and BritBox UK, of which ITV has a 90% stake.

I'd love to shed a tear for ITV Box Office but everything I heard or saw of them was that they were constantly messing up.

I don't even know what else they ran besides AEW PPVs, did they have boxing?

Yes they had boxing but they never showed any fights which would generate PPV Buys.

Service wasn't great though. I did order one boxing PPV and had to get a charge back on my card from the bank as all I got was a blue screen.

Do TNT not air movies like Atomic Blonde?

It's all in the presentation. Inter-gender matches generally show both sexes as equals. There's nothing about that that looks bad.

Interesting. I actually switched to using ITV for AEW PPVs up to now, as the picture quality seemed better than it was on Fite.

Fite it is from now on though, at least now if it's not promoted by ITV we should be able to pay with credits.

Speaking of Fite, has anyone with AEW Plus been having an issue playing Dynamite on demand on Android? The video player just shows a loading spinner and doesn't do anything. The video seems to work fine via the website, strangely. I've experienced this on two different phones now.

Brian Cage announced that he is now a free agent.

He's had offers from a few places but he's having surgery for a torn bicep before he decides where he's going next.

People can slag on the cruise for a number of reasons but you can't help but admit everyone is having a blast there, the wrestlers included.

AEW is carrying serious momentum just now. I haven't even heard much about the Royal Rumble this week, everything has been about the cruise and now they have this giant 10k day 1 advance which would be notable even if it was WWE.

AEW has been really inclusive and sensible about that. Now that they have a deal for 4 more years, just give them time to convince TNT about that, i know that inter gender wrestling will arrive eventually, but give them time, so far they earned that confidence vote.

A third Moxley Karaoke performance appears. Seeing him having fun warms my heart.

This cruise and things like the New Year's party they've had must have been good for morale.

For those that like to follow Lucha Bros and AAA, today AAA returns to action:



The show will probably feature a tribute to La Parka who recently passed away (not to be confused with WCW La Parka, L.A. Park today). The Mixed Tag Match should be great and the main is probably going to start the Lucha Bros vs Muñoz Family (Rush) feud.

I like how they're using this PiP ad break for just drone shots of a boat.

I just watched the episode. Thought they would have shown that on TV.
I'm surprised they didn't open the show with footage of the ship; that would probably have caught the attention of casual viewers a lot more than panning around the deck, which could hav been perceived as a simple hotel or something.

I thought the same thing as it opened. If you have a unique setting SHOW IT OFF! Gosh.

Any other Stardom matches worth watching from the Jan 19th show? I've been picking and choosing and have watched:

Mayu vs. Momo (very good)
Arisa vs. Utami (good)
Tam Nakano vs. Kagetsu (solid)
AZM vs. Zoe vs. Starlight Kid (GP match...fun)

Not super enticed by the other tag bouts. Should I watch some of them?

Man I don't know how you can open with such a great match. The rest of the show was good to great but boy, talk about starting the show with a showstopper.
