Worth noting that 743 has disappeared from the EPG?

The redundant SBO channels seem to be hanging around on the Sky EPG, for some reason . . . Confused

You would have thought they would have removed all of them after like 72 hours of closure....

If you press the Box Office button on your Sky remote, it still gives you the options for SBO and Sky Store. Needless to say selecting SBO leads to a blank section within the EPG.

I get an FYI notice asking you to press red for Sky Store, oddly enough.

I suspect the Box Office text is hard coded into the Sky+ software and will disappear with some future firmware update. Much like when they removed all the games from Interactive and it took a while for them to notice it was still referenced on the Interactive button - it vanished after a firmware update.

Because I still have a Sky + box from 2007, the Box Office option works for me although all options lead me to a FYI

The Box Office channels have been pulled off-air. Typing in 700-715 and 744 now leads to a "channel unavailable"message
