Top Up TV warning - soon only 4 channels

For anyone still using the original Top Up TV service (not Top Up TV Anytime):

From "early February", the service will be reduced even further to just four channels, with only two shown in the evening - but it will still cost £7.99.

UKTV Gold 4pm - 1am
TCM 7pm - 1am

UKTV Style 1pm - 4pm
British Eurosport 7.30am - 10am

See http://www.topuptv.com/current.html

I contacted their customer services, who confirmed: "The original Top Up TV service will not be reduced in price. It will continue to be billed at £7.99 a month."

So I'm cancelling my subscription as the service has been severely reduced from what I originally signed up for.

    The OP's point is that this is Top Up TV Anytime, which is a different service requiring you to buy a new set top box which is similar to a Sky Plus box, and costs about £70 I think.

    FWIW we cancelled our subscription earlier this month and stopped the DD but are still getting the very few top up channels so it may be they think it is not worth the candle switching off those customers who are choosing not to switch to Anytime and cancelling their accounts (or they are just slow shutting us down of course!)
