Kapamilya Box Office (KBO) is a subscription digital terrestrial television channel exclusive to ABS-CBN TV Plus users, Sky Direct subscribers and thru it's KBO website. It was initially launched in May 2015 as a pay-per-view channel intended for the historic boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. It was formerly registered as the "TVPlus Xtra Channel" but became inactive after the coverage. By April 2016, the channel was renamed to KBO.
KBO's weekend programming includes a classic and current TV specials, movie marathon from the film libraries of Star Cinema, Viva Films, Regal Films, independent film outfits and various Hollywood film studios, Myx simulcast (exclusively for ABS-CBN TV Plus users) and catch-up marathon of ABS-CBN's reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7. PPV events are also included to its programming on any day of the week (such as the live broadcast of Nonito Donaire-Zsolt Bedak boxing match in Cebu, Pinoy Pride fights, Star Magic Ball Red Carpet, One Music PH digital concerts and Halalan 2016 coverage).
TVPlus users can watch KBO, provided that the user (thru text) subscribes to a low-cost service load from an ABS-CBNmobile SIM card, which can be reloaded weekly. PPV loads cost higher than the regular KBO load, which may include a bundled free data allowance from ABS-CBN's iWanTV online service.
KBO also announced "Super KBO" last August 2, 2016 which can cost P99 load any other week instead of usual P30 load. Super KBO airs featured movie that released few months after showing in theaters, live concerts and other movies, aside from other featured programming in the regular KBO service. Super KBO is also available on SkyCable and Destiny Cable which includes 1 or 2 featured movies continuously viewing both in SD and HD as well as Sky On Demand VOD service.
