Top Up TV has a new look, with a logo which was designed by someone on acid by the looks of things...

http://www.topuptv.com/ has also been revamped.

I do wonder exactly how top up tv makes money. Who exactly subscribes to the overpriced mess?

I've often wondered that. It costs not much less than a basic Sky package, and seems to offer so little.

I know there are some who don't have cable and can't have a Sky dish for whatever reason, but is that really such a sizeable corner of the market to sustain the business?

And as for the logo - it does look like something which would get laughed out of the Mocks Forum.

It isn't exactly value for money is it.

Have they dropped the remaining live "channels" completely now then - on the TV Favourites page it says "We don't have live channels", though as far as I know Gold and UKTV Style were still running up until recently - but so limited it probably makes sense to drop them completely and sell it as a "VoD" package.

Has the EPG been revamped too?

Were/are the live channels available to all TUTV customers or just the old customers still paying £4.99 (or whatever it was) just to get the remaining live channels?

Europsport has disappeared from Ch33, but G.O.L.D and UKTV Style are still showing on the DTT EPG, whether they're actually still showing programmes I don't know
