It?s a set of extra channels for which you need to subscribe ? currently £7.99 a month. Opinions varies as to it?s worth. There is a sample channel for £1 per day (don?t waste your money)
More info on their web site http://www.topuptv.co.uk and over on DS |

that link does not work? so you can get top up tv for your Topfield receiver and it works from a normal tv ariel like on-digital used to?
do they broadcast in dolby 5.1 like sky do sometimes? |

Ah, the forum software tagged the comma on to the end of the hyperlink ? try the original link now: http://www.topuptv.co.uk
Yep, you could think of it as a cut down on-digital. |

| Unfortunately the best we get is stereo signals, but if the program/film was made with pro-logic, this will be passed through to give basic surround sound. |

Took the plunge a couple of days ago, cam & card arrived today, couldnt get it to work in the top slot, so switched off toppy & popped into the bottom slot, now working fine.
wasnt bothered about TUTV in the past, but took advantage of the £10 off for new subscibers, figured that if I dont use it much that I can always flog the cam on eBay.
Im really only interested in the Discovery channel, that was the only channel I missed when I got rid of cable a few years ago, 'sky one' would be nice, but I cant see that happening.
I assume that if I unsubscribe that I can no longer view my previously recorded programmes, is that correct?

You can view recordings for a limited amount of time, and you can decrypt them - start playing back, and increase the speed to 6x with the FF key, then press Rec to start a copy, which should be decrypted as it's made.

Well, on some of the satellites (Astra 1), Eurosport is transmitted in the clear with german audio, but I don't know quite what they put on there.

So, you will have to mostly rely on the "re-live" showings which can easily get canned for mixed, synchronised basket-weaving from Bratislava  |

Sorry this is all a bit new to me. I was hoping to buy a Toppy TF5810 when it comes out and a top-up card to plug in to it. Am I wrong to think it is that simple to get the extra channels and that I can only get them if I buy some 'anytime' box? Surely not! |

Yep; TopUp TV now only supplies their programmes on their own box, the Thomson 6300-16.
While it's a competent enough box, in my view it's not a patch on the Toppy, and I felt the programme content on Anytime was a bit low-brow.
You can use a Topfield with Setanta sports, but that's the only new service you can subscribe to from TUTV now. |

Don't bother you'll only get Eurosport between 0730 - 1030 am, it will cost you £9.99 per month and you will get messages saying you are not authorised to view this channel. If you know someone who has Sky you can get a voucher for a free Sky+ box & installation & they get £50 M&S Vouchers. If you get the channel mix that includes Eurosport it's £16 a month |
