Sky Box Office is the name of BSkyB's pay-per-view (PPV) system. There are three branded divisions of Sky Box Office - Sky Movies Box Office, Sky Sports Box Office and Sky 3D Box Office. Until 1 February 2011, the system ran under unified Sky Box Office branding.
Films are currently first shown on Sky Box Office between two and three months after release on DVD. It is likely that this 'window' will come down further, in line with US models.
It can be purchased directly through a Sky remote control. This can be accomplished by pressing "Box Office", purchase an event, confirm the order and enter the PIN if prompted.
