won't be shown.

1015 is the Sky Live events
1016 is Live Events Channel

As said though, they most likely won't work.

I can't see the server rising from the ashes just to show a PPV event TBH

Well the question of whether the KV Server is down or whether it's due to a VM upgrade/error/whatever... as to why we have no channels will be answered tonight. If 1016 Live Events Channel broadcasts "Wrestlemania" then we know that it is a VM issue, if the event doesn't materialise then we know for sure that the KV servers have been pulled.

My friend claims he can still get the Box Office channel, is he just pulling my leg, or is he right?

1015 is the Sky Live events
1016 is Live Events Channel

Is still broadcasting as of now, whether they will be when a "live event" is on remains to be seen.

There are two channels, one an advertising channel and obviously free to air, the other a premium pay for channel that usually goes live one hor or so before the event. Before the current problems KV were diligent in paying for and putting on major sporting events as everyone here will testify.

That was never the case for wrestling. Even if the KV was working wrestling would not be shown on the premium [ pay extra in addition to the subs ] channel.
