  • Boxer TV Access is a Swedish company providing pay television channel on the digital terrestrial television network in Sweden. Modeled on the British ITV Digital, it was founded in October 1999. Some channels on the Swedish DTT are free-to-air, but most of the channels require subscription from Boxer. Boxer has claimed to have 709,000 subscribers by the end of 2007. Boxer offers dozens of channels, with the number of channels varying depending on location and how one wants to count. As of early 2008, channels from Boxer broadcast on four national transmitter networks, of which three (MUX2, MUX3 and MUX4) can be received by 98 percent of the population using a regular antenna. The fourth network, named MUX5, has lower coverage. Another transmitter network (MUX1) has higher coverage but it doesn't contain any Boxer channels. The majority shareholder was held in Boxer TV Access by Teracom which is owned by the Swedish state. The British venture capital firm 3i held a 30 percent stake. Teracom acquired this 30% stake from 3i in November 2008. Teracom sees this 100% stake as a logical next step. 3I had held the 30% having acquired the shares from Skandia Media Invest in 2005. With is 100% stake, Teracom moves from majority to sole shareholder in Boxer. "Teracom has always been the main shareholder in Boxer and acquiring all the shares is a logical continuation of that ownership. Boxer will continue its successful business in the same manner as before, that is being a pay-TV operator dedicated to terrestrial platforms and working independently of any individual broadcaster," says Crister Fritzson, CEO of Teracom. In March 2008, Boxer TV A/S, a subsidiary of Boxer TV Access, won the franchise to build and operate the terrestrial pay television platform in Denmark. In February 2009 it launched this service in Jutland covering West Denmark. This service will extend during 2009 to most of Denmark In 2008, Boxer announced that it had put in a bid to operate 3 of the 4 multiplexes of the DTT service for Ireland, in conjunction with Irish company Communicorp. On July 21 2008 Boxer DTT Ireland were awarded the Irish franchise Boxer TV Ireland subject to contract. However on 20 April 2009 the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland announced that contract negotiations had ended and Boxer DTT Ireland had withdrawn its application to operate the multiplexes.
  • Boxer TV-Access (vanligen Boxer) är ett företag som levererar digitala TV-kanaler och har ett de facto-monopol på betal-TV i det marksända digitala TV-nätet i Sverige. Det grundades i oktober 1999. Enligt egen utsago uppnådde företaget 500 000 kunder i november 2005. Samtliga kunder är bosatta i Sverige, då företaget inte har någon verksamhet i andra länder. För att se kanaler i det svenska marknätet behöver man inte vara kund hos Boxer, men har man ett abonnemang hos Boxer kan man se fler kanaler. Boxer TV-Access ägs sedan november 2008 helt av statliga Teracom. I juni 2009 tillkännagavs att Boxer genom ägaren Teracom köper upp det finländska PlusTV, som är ett företag med liknande verksamhet som Boxer i Finland.
