I used to subscribe to this from 1995-2000 on and off. I have now acquired Top Up Tv in my bedroom and are thinking of re-subscribing to TVX through it. Although the hours of broadcast are only 11pm-5am, I am still tempted. What I want to know off people is what is it like these days? I know it's not hardcore but are there hardcore glimpses like before, and what is the content like these days? I want loads of Brit stuff and not the same old repeats of Pussy Malone and Dildo Dan lol. Can anyone advise me? Thanks.

Thing is on Top Up Tv only Television X is offered. Is it really that bad? Are there no new programmes on there at all? Before I unsubscribed it showed some great adverts for new Brit programmes. I know it gets slagged off cos it's not hardcore but no British channels are allowed to be. Does anyone know where I can get the listings for the Fantasy Channel on the net for say the next few weeks/months? Thanks.

Cjm,

You might be interested in the recent postings here on this very topic:

It's likely that there will be a big shake up on UK adult subscription television over the next 8 months starting in a few weeks time when Ofcom launches it's public consultation over broadcasting standards. I think we shall find that Ofcom will recomend R18 content be allowed on adult subscription services in the new draft broadcasting rules (programme code) and it's likely that it will be on our screens some time between this August and February 05.

If you want to take part in Ofcom's consultation you can email me at admin@www.ofwatch.org.uk

Listings are downloadable at:

http://www.digiguide.co.uk/

It's free for a month then about a fiver a year.

You customise it, click all the channels you can get and it downloads all the programme listings into an off-line browser every week.

No spyware - it's superb- I've used it for 4 years and have to spend at least 15 minutes a day looking at all the listings (but I admit I'm a sad git)

You can add search words and phrases too so every day, automatically, all the stuff you like pops up (Except that the adult channels give very little description - it's the same as the banner that pops up if you press the info button on Sky) you can find everything you want from Vulcan Bombers to strippers! - FAB!

The only adult listings are TVX, Adult channel and Playboy - don't know why - it can only help the channel owners to make the listings available to digiguide - I emailed the Horror Channel (Sky 330) and suggested they did - hey presto it appeared the next week in Digiguide! (But maybe it wasn't me that did it)

Re content - lately, apart from the odd oops - they are all about the same - I've got all of 'em. Xplicit on 984 is better for about 10 seconds about 5 times in a night - but it's generally the same over and over if you watch for more than a couple of weeks. New shows are added, but not much. I'll keep my subscription though - it is certainly pushing the boundaries - same rules, but applied very cleverly! TAC has tried harder lately as has all three channels in the group - Hope all of it is better for us later in the year, who knows...? (I think some people do!....)

The new girl/girl stuff has been pretty good..Sophie studies hard..Planet Nadia 2..Karen Woodward(STUNNING)Body Language..very attractive and willing new actresses. Minus point still turfing out the old crap..Stripper of the year..Dildo Dan..Pussy Malone etc!!!
But they had a Ben Dover theme night on a couple of weeks ago which was very good and that party from Big Brother was in session with the old maestro she is well up for it my friend.
