I've watched this channel a couple of nights now, and what a total con. You have to wonder if the people fronting these shows are pleased with themselves in the knowledge that they are perpetuating this myth, and probably causing some stupid, gullible, jobless people a lot of hardship.
The tactic with Quiz TV seems to be run a ridiculously impossible quiz throughout the night, typically a couple of sentences with numbers and words in them, and you are told rather ambiguosly to "add the value of the numbers in the text". Their interpretation of adding the numbers is never explained, and no doubt changes every time. They take stacks of calls, and after about 3 hours, they abandon it all together, and up comes a really easy puzzle, usually at 1am for the same amount of prize money.
Remember, the channel goes off air at 2am, they always want to end on a high, so they will sit there, for best part of an hour, building up this pretence that all you need to do is phone in and a caller could be selected at any time. When experience tells you, they have absolutely no intention of taking that call right up until the end of the broadcast. They're just filling the coffers for an hour.
You can add Quiz TV presenter to dodgy professions along the same lines of double glazing salesmen and second hand car salesmen, only the latter are more honest.
BTW free web entry does work, you have to try it a few times before being selected, you get a call back, and usually are told you've not been selected.

They had one puzzle where it ran almost all night, right up to about 1am...and never revealed the answer. I guess that means they can now bring the puzzle back another time.
