Top up your stress levels

Advantages: can record your favourite programmes, inexpensive
Disadvantages: numerous technical difficulties

...With the likes of Sky and Virgin media dominating the market, it is often a troublesome task trying to find the best deal on pay-TV. With their tied-in contracts and expensive rates, I wanted to find something different and did, albeit regrettably, in the form of Top Up TV. My experience of this particular service has been very negative, so I will try my hardest to keep this review as un-biased as possible (this could be quite difficult). A bit of background info Top Up TV is an entertainment company set up in 2004, dedicated to giving Freeview customers pay-TV channels without tying you down to long contracts or complicated packages. They offer extra channels at a fixed monthly rate which makes viewing your favourite shows even easier. It enables the user to start and stop programmes using the electronic TV guide, record...

Top Up TV - alternative to satellite TV

Advantages: No contracts, great selection of programmes, fantastic customer services
Disadvantages: none I can think of

...Top Up Tv is a digital terrestrial service offering premium channels such as CBS, Living, Warner, TCM and much much more!! I decided to give this ago after the credit crunch hit home and was unable to afford sky's service so was looking for an alternative to keep me occupied on these cold nights in. A friend recommended top up tv, a service I had never heard of so was very skeptic when he told me that you get your first month free and then its only £9.99 a month with no contracts to tie me down, now after been with sky paying over £30 a month this sounded very good but there must be catch. I decided to do some research into top up tv and finding out that the box downloads selected programmes from the channels available this sounded OK so after reading various mixed reviews and eventually decided to go with the free months trial which...

Top Up TV - 160GB + Anytime Service

Advantages: Programs anytime all day. Good Choice of channels, 160GB of space.
Disadvantages: The box has a few bugs but these are being fixed.

...Top Up TV Anytime and Top Up TV DTR Ordering and Delivery - Top up TV can be ordered online or via phone. You can also purchase in retailers such as Argos, Curry's etc. I choose to order mine online and it was not the best experience. The online ordering system told me it was unable to process my request and I had to ring up. When I did in fact ring up they told me my order had not been completed and I couldn't do it over the phone as it was a special offer. I was attempting to join the 12 month contact offer and get a free 160GB box. 2 Days later a Viewing card arrived in the post. I was very confused as they told me my order was not submitted. So, I gave them a rang and they told me my order was processed. But, I had not paid the £20 connection fee so my box had been sent back to them. I had to pay £20 fee via Visa If...

Top Ten Most Pathetic Chat Up Lines...

Advantages: Advantages?!!!
Disadvantages: Read on, you'll see...

.......and unfortunately I am sure us ladies have been subjected to these ones on more than one occassion in our lifetimes! There should be a school for men where they can go and study the art of chatting up us girlies, so that they don't get soaked with wine, slapped and humiliated in front of their mates! Then again....why spoil all our fun?!! I am sure they will cotton on sooner or later!!! 1. Here's 10p go phone your Mum and tell her you won't be coming home tonight. (Do they not realise it costs 30p before you even make a call nowadays and why would we call our Mum?!!!) 2. How do you like your eggs in the morning? Scrambled or fertilised? (Ewww!!! What happended to good old cornflakes or a slice of toast?!!) 3. Do your feet hurt cos you've been running round my mind all day? (What in these shoes...??!!) 4...

Never Fail, To Fail chat up lines!

Advantages: Good Laugh
Disadvantages: Never work!

...My personal chat up lines, the never fail to fail ones. Okay so these are chat up lines I thought I would share with you now I only thought of these for a joke so don?t take them seriously, please I am not a pig Lol. -My Top 10- 10. If I were a transformer would you make me into a sex slave? This is rather fitting with the new transformer movie soon to be released however you will come across as a pervert so you may want to say it in a different variation, the chances of this working are more slim then the classic ?If I were to rearrange the alphabet I would put you and I together? so good luck with that one. 9. If Carlsberg were to make hot chicks you?d probably be what they would make, as you the best hot chick in the world. This is defiantly one to use in a pub however, it won?t work unless they think you...

I Hope It Doesn't Go T**S-UP Like The Last Lot

Advantages: InexpEnsive addition to Freeview - no satellite dish needed
Disadvantages: "InexpAnsive "addition to Freeview! Limited channel choice and not all are 24-hour channels

...REVISED: If you want to read about TopUpTV, read on. If you want to know how they deal with customers trying to unsubscribe, shoot to the bottom! If you've got Freeview TV, either through a set-top box or through a TV that already has a digital terrestrial tuner in it, then you've probably noticed as you surf channels that there's an annoying number of other channels which, when you try to view them, give you some kind of error message; 'This channel is encrypted' for example. Most of these, but not all, belong to an organisation called TopUp TV. There are other individual channels that can be paid for too, but these tend to be either the 'soft porn' variety or specialist sport channels like Setanta, currently carrying exclusive coverage of Scottish Premier league football on a pay-per-match basis. To receive TopUp TV, you need...

Top 10 chat up lines, never to be used!

Advantages: They'll make you giggle if nothing else
Disadvantages: you might gip from the cheesiness

...I think it's pretty safe to say that all chat up lines should be avoided at all costs. but there are the odd few which always crop up. This mini review isn't so much of a praise to them, but for a merely a few minutes of your time to perhaps put a smile on yourself... These are what i've heard, and would like to point out, NEVER used... 10. Are you religious? Because I'm the answer to your prayers! 9. You might not be the best looking person here, but beauty is only a light switch away. 8. I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make your bed rock. 7. Nice dress, it'd look better on my bedroom floor! 6. Can you catch? I think I'm falling for you. 5. Do you work for the Post? I could have sworn I saw you checking out my package. 4. Do you believe in love at first sight, or should i walk by again? 3...

Top Gear

Advantages: Great entertainment
Disadvantages: None!

...Men of the world unite ? this is Top Gear. The ultimate car show. Forget the charade that is Fifth Gear over on Channel 5. BBC Two?s beloved Top Gear is the pinnacle of motoring shows. Made by the Beeb and hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, this hourly show has been made for years now ? orginally it was more of a basic motoring review show with the likes of Clarkson and Tiff Needell, but it was completely revamped in 2002 and brought in May and Hammond to not only review brand new cars ? often sporty ones or ridiculous super cars ? but to task part in tasks to produce entertainment. The show isn?t religiously broken down into section but there are various parts of the show which occur each week. There?s always a ?Star in a Reasonably Priced Car? who will try a lap around the Top Gear track in a Chevrolet...
