Not a bad offer, though it's worth bearing in mind that Top Up TV's channels are staggered - eg, you don't get a channel for a whole day. Instead, one channel may run from nine till five, and another channel may then take over from five till ten. Unlike Sky and NTL where you get a whole channel all day.

Good offer, except the digital boxes are a bit rubbish. I'm using one at the moment, and 95% of the time it's great. But then every now and again, you'll set it to record something you really want, and for no apparent reason, it just decides not to tape it.
Then you get a daft message saying recording failed, but giving no reason why it's failed.

So definately recommended if you can cope with something that will occasionally let you down.

Yep I had 3 of these boxes all went back due to 25% of recording just not recording on all channels very very frustrating. Looks as though thats why the offer is on

If you are looking to spend that sort of cash on a monthly TV sub I would recommend BTVision if you are a BT Broadband user. You get the PVR free and for £14 a month you will get loads of VOD content plus Picturebox and Setanta Sports 1. Much better value than TUTV in my opinion. Plus the PVR actually works!

It's worth noting - £9.99 x 12 = £119.88 and £14 x 12 is £168 (without connection) - so there's around £50 between them both.

But with BT vision don't you also have to have a BT line (circa £120 a year) and broadband (circa £120 a year)? And doesn't BTV also share the broadband?

I live in an area that can only get 2Mbps BT broadband, we have two PC's - BT Vision isn't really an option for me. But maybe it is for others where freeeview coverage isn't too hot.

Each to their own - I have a freeeview PVR, wouldn't live without it!

Yes, correct but you sre getting so much more for your money with BTV. You would be £25 for the equivalant package with TUTV. I wasn't comparing prices as such, just stating what extra you could get with BTV. I could just as easlily have said another £6 a month would get you more from Sky too.

That's a bit unfair as most folk will have a phone line and broadband anyway. As it happens, yes, I do need BB and phone but I will be getting those anyway. I currently subscribe to the "Value pack" if I up the sub to the new Bronze pack I will get Picturebox, and another 2 services along with Setanta for £8 more. Sign up to the pack for 18 months and that saves the equivalant of £2.66 a month and renegotiating my BB contract means I get the same service for £4 a month cheaper. So the net cost of all the extras is less than 2 quid a month.

You should be ok with 2mbps I would have thought. Isn't that the minimum speed required?

Free 160gb recorder????

How do you figure that out?

You only get it if you spend £9.99/mth for 12 months on TopUpTV.

Now that might well be a good offer, but that doesn't mean the recorder is 'free'.
