Bid-up.tv

I have been an avid watcher of Bid TV for about five years now so I thought it was about time that I had my say about what an amazing channel it is! If you are not familiar with it, Bid TV (formerly known as Bid-up TV) is a shopping channel which sells us items at a lower price than what we will find it in any high street stores. Now you may be thinking, There are lots of shopping channels so why is this one special? Well I can tell you, this one is so very special! The thing about Bid TV is that it is very energetic and very upbeat! Some shopping channels are brought to us by very monotonous ... more

Bid up tv and its sister channels, price-drop tv and speed auction, which are all part of 'sit-up channels'. They are shopping channels which are easy to view and easier to order from. **WHERE IS IT?** Bid-up tv is found on freeview channel 23, Virgin channel 745 and Sky channel 644. **WHAT IS IT?** It is a shopping channel which sells everything from Kitchen essentials, like pots and pans, plates, crockery, to electrical equipment, like television, DVD recorders and much, much more, at a very low price. Each lot is sold in quantities, depending on what is in stock. It is aired for as long as ... more

There is something about the British character that causes some awful selective blindness about everything that we do. Some mental ragged remnant of the British Empire that makes us believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, that we have the best football, cricket and rugby teams in the world. We make the best cars, ships and chocolate. Our railways are a by-word for reliability and our policemen are brave, incorruptible, loyal public servants. We have the best television in the world. I am as ready as the next man to don the rose-coloured spectacles, but that last one is giving me real ... more

Bid TV is a lot of fun. I was talking to someone recently who told me that Bid TV and it's sister service, Price Drop were "not very good." How did he know this? It seemed that someone who he knew had read something in a newspaper. Or something, or other. He was very hazy on the details. And the more we talked, the clearer it became that he really was not talking from a position based on knowledge! Several weeks later I started watching Bid TV and Price Drop TV by accident when we had bought a Digital tuner for our TV set and had been flicking through the channels. The first thing I noticed ... more

Amogst the vast array of shopping channels that are around at the moment (QVC, Shop!, Ideal World, Screenshop) Bid-up.tv has to be the best because of it's unique auction-style shopping and it's HUGE savings on products. At first, the concept maybe quite hard to follow (especially if you have never used an auction before) but it's really easy to use and you will soon become completely addicted! E.g There are 5 televisions at a RRP of £200.00 but Bid-up will start the bidding at £20.00. Once there are 5 or more bidders the reserve price will go up and effectivly you will have to 'bid-up' if you ... more
