TVX, is it worth it?

I was thinking of treating myself to TVX. Is it worth the 7 quid or so? I am only really interested in the UK stuff that tends to be on in the first hour or so.

No,at the moment TAC is much better, i'm unsubscribing tomorrow, only Ben Dover's worth watching at present. &7 a month? It's now a tenner with Telewest, better to put the dosh towards proper videos.

IMHO No No & No. Once your in it is a nightmare to unsubscribe.
30 days notice in writing. Save your 8.99 and buy Backdoor Raiders from Your Choice instead.

Cheers Chris.

No. Not when you consider that a years subscription to Spice Platinum is only ?99 (someone whos good at maths will tell you that works out cheaper) and they show hard versions of TAC progs mixed in with hardcore US crap from Playboy.

NO! You won't be able to cancel within 12 months if you change your mind.

Hi, how do you get Platinum Spice? I have never heard of it, only the softcore crap you used to get on Sky as I don't have the digital stuff yet and can't get cable in my area. Can you get hardcore channels and on what platform, normal/digital satalite/cable. Cheers, desperatly seeking porn on my TV.

hopefully, a fully sober mr magoo is compiling his unparalleled knowledge on the matter for us, even as we speak, so that future generations of forumites need never be in ignorance again. ;-)

I will get round to it eventually. And I might even run it through a spell checker. Do you want it written up in word or can I just send it as the message body of an email and let you edit it or whatever.

Basicly you just need an 80cm dish pointing at Astra 1 or Hotbird (or both on one dish if you want to double the amount of channels) and a standard digital receiver with a conditional access module(like a pc card that slots into the receiver and a veiwing card). You can get a receiver for under ?200 from an independent sat dealer (see adds in What Satellite mag).

Official cards can be bought direct from the Spice. Do a google search for the url. Or from your local dealer. There are also some dealers that sell unofficial cards which are programmed from a PC to open up dozens of European movie channels which all show hardcore at night and regular movies during the day.
