Top up TV

[SpikeyBush]

Been looking at this as a possible replacement for Sky as I feel I would get better value from what they're offering based on what I tend to watch. I have laid my hands on an old OnDigital box which is working fine and getting a good signal for the scrambled channels I'm interested in. Would a Top-Up TV card work in an OnDigital box or do I need to spend 50 sov's on a Top-Up TV box? I'm not going to ask Top-Up TV as it would be a rhetorical question. They want to flog me a new box regardless of whether or not I actually need one.

I don't think it would work but personally I think it's a waste of money. You do not choose what you want to watch, they do. Anyway, there is more than enough on Freeview channels for my needs. When I bought my DTR I signed up for a free 30 day trial of Top-up TV. I had the devil's own job trying to cancel it; when I told the lad I was adamant that I did not want it he even suggested that I might like to give the subscription as a gift to a friend!

Just looking for the free channels plus Sky Sports 1. Currently paying €90 per month to Sky for my Irish subscription, looking to reduce this and I live close enough to the border to get a good digital signal from Northern Ireland through my terrestrial aerial.

Top up TV was sorta worth it when they started but the way things work now I wouldn't bother.
