Don't you need a TV licence if you have a computer, or rather a monitor, in your house? Or are you not posting from home?
In any case I certainly get a lot out of TV. If you never watch though, I guess I can't see any point.
Considering Freeview is... free, apart from the intial box cost which is only £30 for a basic one, there's no real reason to have TV but not freeview.
Top up TV is pretty naff though... UKGold is good but not really worth a monthly fee on its own.
Buy a TV guide this week and look for at least 1 thing you would like to see everyday, if you can't do that then you're probably not going to get anything out of it. You can always watch the racing at a mate's house.

I don't have topup tv - dont think it is worth it for the little you get. Oh and for some reason, using my pc dvb card on PC, I get the audio from Television X but not the video (dammit..)
You perv! (but 10 minute freeview is good)
If your equipment is capable of receiving TV signals, you need a license. Whether you actually watch TV or not is irrelevant. A monitor is not capable of receiving a TV signal (unless it's got a TV tuner inside it, of course).Jumpingmedic said:
the signal from a Freeview box (digital) does output a better picture than standard analogue...
Discovery channel on TopUPTV isnt that great... the other channels are next to useless. Only get it if you want Television X but you'll have to pay a separate subscription fee.
we cannot literally "sell" it to you outside MM though

LOL
All you need to know is the Video and Audio PID's
Seriously lame encryption that even a newbie sat hacker can circumvent. Also they haven't changed the PID's for over a year!! lol
