What a ludicrous question. It's like asking "Is the cinema worth
going to?" or "Should I catch a train?". It depends how much time
you spend watching TV and what you like to watch. I would recommend
their website as a good starting point http://www.topuptv.com/.

I've looked at the site but without any experience of just how many and the
content of the channels sent to the top up recorder, it doesn't give a lot
of info. I'm mainly interested in things like uktvfood, discovery, history
channels.
I can't get cable so therefore the only options are top up tv or sky.
With TUTV, can you choose which channels are sent to recorder? I don't want
100G of kids programs or music videos

Or Freeview.

You get UKTV Gold, UKTV Style, Eurosport UK, plus whatever programmes from
some of the other channels they think you might like.

It seems to me that most of the recording features could be achieved
with Freeview. My Humax PVR (personal video recorder) can record two
channels at once, store about 100 hours of TV, pause and rewind live
TV without discs or tapes and has an electronic programme guide (seven
days). So Top-up is more about whether you are interested in the
extra channels and whether they are worth paying for, which only you
can decide.

When you say 'choose which channels are sent to the recorder' I think
you will find the unit only records the programmes you select for
recording. Recording all the channels all day on to a 160 GB hard
disc would be mission impossible and that won't be happening.

I gather that the hard drive is divided into two parts. One that you
can use like a normal PVR, and the other that TUTV decides what to
record on. The TUTV half stays full all the time with older programs
being automatically deleted to make room for new stuff. I've never
tried it though.

Cheers,

Colin.

you need to look at their tv schedule on their site - it will tell you which
individual shows from those channels you get - you don't get the whole
channel - you get just those shows.
you don't choose what it records - it records them and then you choose if
you wish to watch or not.

So really the only way to get the discovery channel etc is to subscribe to
Sky?

Are there any satellites other than Sky broadcasting unencrypted that
might carry these channels?
