It doesn't mention Eurosport launching on 14th Feb. Moreover from the Press Release by Lex Vision, we only know that 1sports will replace DSport and nowhere is Eurosport mentioned anywhere at all...
Lex Sportel has nothing to do with Eurosport so obviously no mention. As confirmed in Delhi HC order and other sources Eurosport launch is planned for 14th February when deal with Lex Sportel will finish. However, there is a dispute on the DSport license currently. If they get license for Eurosport it should launch in time.
So, in simple terms, the existing 'DSPORT' will continue to air everything as it is; under a new name '1SPORTS'. (Check their website)
And, Discovery will launch a new channel on 14th Feb 2019 and will either call it 'DSPORT' or 'EUROSPORT' or 'EUROSPORT INDIA' (hopefully will launch an HD channel too sometime later) and will air original programming and other licensed sporting events on it, which are currently not on the existing channel. Also, they may go for some cricket acquisitions for quicker growth.
The following are some of the licensed sporting properties which will continue on the rebranded 1SPORTS:
