Back by demand, snippets of how Sky Box Office looked on Cable & Wireless back in 1998, CWC never took Sky's promos for a while, they instead opted out and used their own. Although they opt in early before the film starts.

The last clip is taken from August 1998 when SBO revamped, they changed their logo again in that September, when Sky Movies changed theirs.

    Indeed so, Cable & Wireless backed Sky, where as every other Cable company backed Front Row. My area (Warrington) was on Cable & Wireless, where as nearby Liverpool was on Telewest.

    Afraid not, we had SBO on 52-54 at that time, then NTL took over, SBO disappeared on a Monday and FR started on the Wednesday on 51-54. Although we didn't have Digital Cable at the time, they carried the 50 channel SBO (like Sky Digital) and then switched to FR (50 channel) at the same time as Analogue.

    Oh, so was it a case of choosing which service you wanted on Cable, FR or SBO?
