Is it fully going or is it just becoming an extra sub?

Possible this is due to the bt sport merger.

The fact it says no longer available tells you it is going completely

I currently have the BT sports monthly pass app, if boxnation is going to be removed from this monthly pass app, is there a chance that BT sports monthly pass pricing will be reduced? especially as there are currently 4 BT sport channels & 1 boxnation channel.

Im currently undecided about renewing for another month especially as football is going to be on hold due to the world cup & the concern of paying £25 a month for just 4 channels

Boxnation is classed as a free add on so the charges won't change

Premier Sport operate BoxNation and they have been taken over by ViaPlay.

There is no mention of BoxNation in ViaPlay's details of what is happening to the package of channels when the changes take place on 1st November.

Just says Premier Sports 1 and 2 will be ViaPlay Sports 1 and 2.

Still waiting for full details of the future of Freesport and BoxNation.

@ozsat

Article  i read  covered  Freesports

Premier Sports 1 and Premier Sports 2 will be rebranded as Viaplay Sports 1 and Viaplay Sports 2, with the free-to-air TV channel FreeSports becoming Viaplay Xtra.

Was that an artical about ViaPlay or from ViaPlay?

Freesport have released schedules in the past couple of days for November - alothugh it could be the branding or transmission services are not changing yet.

@ozsat  It was a broadcast now  article but it is effectively the same as the official viaplay group  news release of 18 Oct. 

[zulu17]

According to the EPG guide for 415  Boxnation is no longer available from 17  November with a note to watch recordings by 29th November.

This is a more generous timeframe to watch recordings that reported on BT.com website 

https://www.bt.com/help/bt-sport/boxnation-with-bt-sport

where access  to recordings was also to end on 17 November.
