Advantages: Constant Music... Disadvantages: ...apart from when the million commercial breaks a day are on!
...I have had cable TV for about 6 months now, and one of the main reasons I got it was for the music channels. - Although I like the radio, the selection on each radio station tends to be very broad, and its so annoying having to change the station whenever there is a song I don't like!! Having a music TV channel however, is just different to radio. Apart from the obvious that one is a TV channel and one is a radio station, there are a fair few music TV channels and they seem to be more targeted, hence why I can have VH1 on in the background, watch it when I want to, but still enjoy the music whether I decide to watch or listen to it!
The music covers a wide range, and it is certainly for 'everything' people. The music played is simply chart music, with a time span from 1980 to 2004. There are various programmes showing endless...

Review of VH-1
Advantages: Better than MTV, etc for the more discerning listener. Disadvantages: Adverts too often.
...On of the great things about the VH-1 and VH-1 Classic channels is that there is always something good on one of them. If you think that there is nothing to watch on any channel, ao you just have a few minutes to watch something as you are waiting to go out, simply go to channel 444 on Sky Digital and even if nothing takes your fancy there go back one channel and almost certainly something will. The music is good and ranges from 60's stuff to the better stuff from more recent times and some of the special programmes are well put together. My favourites are, "Pop up video" which tells you lots of interesting trivia behind the songs and videos, "Ten of the best", where celebs pick their favourite songs and "Behind the music" which profiles a particular band or artiste, some of these can be particularly good.
So whether you have a few...

Review of VH-1
Advantages: The Channel has the best logo of all the music channels on Sky Digital! An LP emblem implies old and most tunes on this channel are old! Disadvantages: Seems to be too many adverts being played at the moment. Also, the caption for showing the Artist, Song title, Year and Album is plain white and only on screen for 5 seconds. With it being plain white, it doesn't always show up...
...VH-1 Classic is an excellent channel on Sky Digital, it plays hits from the late 1950s right through to the mid 1990s. There are no live links between video "batches" and the whole presentation would appear to be computer controlled at VH-1 Headquarters. Videos are played back to back in batches of about 4-5 videos per batch (where a batch is from the end of one advert break to the start of the next break).
The overall presentation is extrememly well done overall, though in some cases the end of the video is sometimes cut off and the switch from one video to the next is rough.
Some people have a problem with this next bit, but the channel runs an animated on-screen logo in the bottom left of the output. The logo itself is a big round yellow circle in the shape of an LP that slowly spins throughout the videos. Alongside it comes up...

Review of VH1 Classic
Advantages: Powerful, versatile, convenient and effective. Disadvantages: A little noisy, but that's being really picky.
...INTRODUCTION
We own an industrial strength Kirby vacuum cleaner and needed something less bulky to handle the occasional dry spill, and hoovering the stairs. Having previously invested in a string of cordless vacuum cleaners which always seemed to fail to meet expectations, we decided to try a corded model when our latest disappointment - a cordless Dustbuster - started losing its charge too quickly. After a quick look around, I settled on Black & Decker VH780 Dustbuster Mini-vac (?VH780?), which seemed a good combination of power, price and accessories. Unlike it?s cordless cousins, it has proved to be (quite literally) a roaring success.
BASIC DETAILS
The VH780 is a corded 780 watt bag-less hand-held vacuum cleaner intended for light household, garage and patio use. It comes in a fetching sleek and curvy...
Advantages: its free with my cable provider Disadvantages:
...I dont think Id actually pay my cable tv company for the privelege to watch VH-1 but since its free i do watch it a fair bit! its really not that bad for a cheap cable tv station. imust admit I do like the special days they do eg 80's day or sting day, beautiful south or genisis to name but a few. its the kind of channel you flick to - to fill in whilest waiting for some thing to start on another channel. I like the fact that you can just flick on an off it and normally find some half decent music on it....

When you rate exceptional what do you think it achieves ?
A: Gives the writer more points ?
B. Gives the writer a chance of sharing the Premium Fund (i.e. money put by to reward the best reviews of the month ?
C. Makes the writer a happy little bunny ?
All three answers apply.
Whilst it does not give the writer more points in terms of comparison to a VH rating it does give the writer more points than they had prior to posting the review.
It most certainly gives the writer ample chance of gaining a lovely shiny diamond assisgned to their review to show others that they have put in an excellent effort and have reaped the rewards not only in exceptional ratings but in gaining a diamond too !
And finally when I gained a diamond I felt on top of the world I really...
...These days there are so many music channels, especially if you have sky digital. I, regularly watch VH1 on sky digital channel 443. I, personally think it’s a very good channel.
It plays non-stop hits from all era’s, the 90’s, 80’s, 70’s etc. That’s what I like about VHI, is that it plays a wide diversity of music.
The best two things on VHI are:
Behind the Music, it’s an excellent account of the ups and downs of pop starts to how they reached their fame, and how they faded. It is brilliantly presented, with excellent archive material used. My best features on Behind the Music have been on ‘TLC’, ‘R.E.M’, ‘Vanilla Ice’.
The reason I love these shows is that it gives new insight into pop stars, how they made it to the top, the hard work they put...

Review of VH-1
Advantages: Some half decent progs Disadvantages: same old crap different packaging
...Come on now surely my TV is going wrong I keep changing channel from MTV to VH1 but the music doesn't change and the presenter still looks like a twat.
I thought VH1 was meant to be an alternative to MTV. You could have fooled me. The same songs apppear on both channels over and over and over.
Same parent company so they but so many playings of a song and then hit both channels with it.
And as for the "Theme" weekends for god sake they are just an excuse to play the same old songs again but with a very thin link.
VH1 does have some half decent progs but most is just the same old crap as on the radio in the UK.
Roll on internet TV so we can get the same choice that now exists through internet radio...

Review of VH-1
...VH-1 is another music channel but this one put's music on that was good in the last decade, and it is nice to hear your old favourites.
However my favourite programme is Behind The Music, this looks at a famous person's life and how they became famous.
A very good programme which lets you know the inside and personal life of a singer. I like this programme alot.
This is a music channel that is amongst the favourites in our household, as Mum and Dad can also watch it. It shows the best of the old which is nice as you can listen to the classics of yesterday.
The presenters are really good and they don't have that many ad breaks
VH1 was one of the first music channel that came out along with MTV, and I think their popularity is still high even thought know there are double the music channels their once were....

Review of VH-1
Advantages: Good selection of music, very reliable connection Disadvantages: More US than UK music, but this isn't too grating most of the time!
...Due to consistent reliability problems when attempting to connect to Virgin Radio on the internet, I have frequently resorted to listening to VH1 At Work. However, despite the fact that this is an American station, and my fear that this would mean a playlist dominated by hip-hop or sub-Green Day college rock, this is a most enjoyable station to listen to, featuring a wide range of new US music, interspersed with many popular tunes from the UK. The DJs are generally pretty good and keep their interruptions down to a minimum, and although the most popular songs are repeated fairly obviously after a few hours, in general this station offers an excellent musical selection. And best of all, the internet connection is extremely stable, the connection time is very low and you will not find the connection broken very often. All in all, much...
