NME TV

Advantages: Great music
Disadvantages: Too many advers

...I'm an individual who enjoys a good bit of music. Any genre will generally do if it's 'good' - by that I mean not some terrible cheesy pop song, but generally I'll stick to my indie/rock malarkey. So it's ideal then that the New Music Express has introduced their own TV station - NME TV... Operated by CSC Media Group, it replaced the music channel 'Minx' in November 2007 - which is odd as I believe Minx was more a pop music channel that indie. Upon it's launch, the first song it played was 'Up The Bracket' by the Libertines, so a perfect indication of what this channel would be playing. Like with all music channels, it's input is predominantly music videos - along with copious amounts of adverts - but it does also contain special shows, often highlighting bands with albums recently released or out soon either picking their...

TV Quick

Advantages: *
Disadvantages: *

...I still live with my parents and this is the TV magazine that they buy. I don't see the point in buying another TV magazine just for me. I read this magazine more than I actually watch the television. Due to exams, drama, sign language and ciao I don't watch very much television. However, every now and then I do sit down and watch an episode of Eastenders or Coronation Street, with my mam. I don't need to watch every episode to know what is going on. Apart from the fact that usually nothing much is happening, I can read the TV quick to catch up. TV Quick come out weekly and costs 70p. We get it delivered from our local newsagents with our newspaper. We usually get it on the Tuesday, before the TV listings in the magazine starts. I say magazine because it is more than just a TV listing. To write this review I'm looking at a copy...

Review of TV Quick

A TV Show, about TV shows

Advantages: Good debates, Interesting topics
Disadvantages: Only once a month

...'The TV show', is in a sense Channel 4's answer to 'Points of View'. It's on monthly, on channel4 and addresses viewers opinions regarding what has been on television that month, and any complaints that have derived from viewing. It is presented by Channel4 news presenter, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and the show is handled in more of chat show debate forum (Trisha style) rather than reading out letters a la Terry Wogan on POV. They often invite producers (or other relevant people) of whichever shows have created controversy that month. For example, this month they had one of the executive producers of Big Brother, plus a psychologist debating whether or not the show has run it's course, whether or not they were taking away the rights of the viewer by removing housemates before they had chance to vote people off, and whether or not it...

Review of The TV show

My TV Guide Of Choice.

Advantages: only 30p - not anymore it's now 33p
Disadvantages: not all digital channels listed

...First of all I will state that there are no plot spoilers included in this review although there may be mention of new series starting in the week that I am reviewing this magazine for. I promise not to give anything away though and if I do you have my permission to slap my bottom. Hang on though I may enjoy that!!! Back to the review. I don't really buy many newspapers - it's not that I don't keep up to date with the news - I just prefer to watch it on TV or look online to find out what is going on in the world. I also pop in to see my mum every day as her house is close to the school where my daughter's attend and it beats trying to find a space outside the gates, as well as getting the chance for a cuppa and a gossip. She buys a local newspaper so I'm able to have a quick look at that to find anything going on in the area...

What is your TV Choice

Advantages: Well set out, ,easy to read
Disadvantages: Adverts

...the end of the magazine there are the competition pages and just for fun puzzels. The last page is where you can find your horroscopes and read viewers letters there is £10 for the featured letter and £5 for any other letters which are published. You can send your letters to them at the following details Choice Letters TV Choice Academic House 24-28 Oval Road London NW1 7DT or you can email it to tvchoice@bauer.co.uk Then last but not least there is a preview of what is coming in next week's magazine. MY OVERALL OPINION This is a great magazine, I remember the times when there was only The Radio Tiimes and TV Times and you had to buy both which usually cost around 70p for them both but now you can buy the likes of TVChoice for 30p at the moment but is is usually 40p. It is a well set out magazine, ok there...

Toshiba RD-85 DT Dvd recorder - review

Advantages: Easy to use, not to big
Disadvantages: Whirring noise, slow start up

...We bought this Dvd recorder to replace the vcr, dvd player and freeview box we previously had in our front room. Although the remote control takes a little while to master, it is easy to use and nagivigate, for example to record a programme its a case of pressing just 3 buttons, also programmes you have recorded are easy to store and to find. The sound and picture quality are really good and the product is a nice size and also attractive looking. Disadvantages of the product are that its takes quite a long time to start up, no good if yu in a rush, also you can only watch the channel you are recording whilst recording unless you watch just the normal tv in which case you are limited to channels 1 - 5! Also the fan inside the box makes a rather loud whirring noise constantly while the dvd recorder is turned on, which can be rather...

Quick TV and Gossip

Advantages: packed full of gossip and a tv guide
Disadvantages: the price could be lower

...TV Quick There's so many TV guides to choose from now that picking one is hard. Although, I do go for the free one in the papers I always love going to my grans and reading the TV Quick. It's a great TV mag but also a good long read too. What is TV Quick? It's a TV magazine with a difference. It's got the normal TV guide that every TV mag has but then there's the extras like all the celeb gossip and interview with soap and tv celebs. The price 65p which is quite a lot for TV mag but it's not just a TV mag. It's a mini version of Heat so I think the price is quite reasonable. FRONT COVER There's the usual TV QUICK red and white logo. Normally on the front cover of the TV Quick, there's a soap star that's going to be in a main storyline that week. For example, Sally's sexy secret. Underneath the face of the soap star...

DT8-ing all the way!

Advantages: a very good listen for hard house lovers
Disadvantages: not one of the best euphoria albums

...beyond euphoria is a very good hard house album. for those of you who don't know hard house is a very hard core, hard styling type of dance music which is characterised by a very fast tempo. some people like to call it agressive dance music. i think the choice of tracks for this album and the mixing by DT8 project is brilliant and gives the album an excellent finish. DT8 project have released some of their own songs such as "the sun is shining" and "winter" which were also very good. their track "winter" is also the first track on this album and i love it. infact winter is probably my favourite song on this album. overall my favourite cd is the first but the second is still fantastic. however, there first one has an excellent track called "no one on earth" by above an beyond who have mixed other euphoria albums. another great track is...

Review of Beyond Euphoria (Mixed By DT8 Project) - Various Artists

TV Listings Made Easy!

Advantages: Good Value For Money
Disadvantages: Gives Away Soap Storylines

...When I was younger there were only two TV Guides around, the Radio Times and the TV Times. These days there many different magazines around and competition is fierce, and if competition wasn't tough enough free TV Guides are now given out with almost every Weekend Newspaper. It may therefore seem surprising that a new TV listings magazine has been launched in the past few months in the shape of TV Easy. In fact TV Easy first hit our shelves in May 2005 at an introductory price of just 10p but the price has crept up steadilysince. I paid 38p for this weeks issue (February 4-10th 2006) so despite this TV Easy is still one of the cheapest TV listing magazines that you can buy. FIRST IMPRESSIONS The first thing that appealed to me was the size. It is much smaller than most standard A4 sized magazines and is in fact about half...
