Another Top-Up TV Price Set Top Box Price Drop
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007Digital provider slashes prices – again
Top Up TV have yet again trimmed the asking price for the Thomson manufactured Anytime DVR box, bringing the initial fee down to £139.99.
There are now no connection fees for the Top Up TV Anytime package, and the first month of the service, usually billed at £9.99 remains absolutely free. This takes the total start-up price down by roughly £70 from what it was at the start of the year £180 for the set-top box plus a £30 connection charge.
Customers can get all the Freeview channels as well as the ability to store up to 160GB of data (roughly equating to 120 hours of TV, and twice the amount available on the Sky+ box) on the built-in hard drive, the ability to pause, rewind and record broadcasts, and select programmes from a range of premium content from 19 additional subscription channels, which are downloaded overnight and stored on a separate section of the box’s hard drive.
The basic deal, now costing just under £250 for the first year of the service, can be upgraded so that PictureBox, a movie channel service costing an extra £7 a month is available, and live sports coverage, courtesy of Setanta Sports, can be added for an additional £10.99 a month.
