Top Up TV vs. Sky Digital

There is a variety of digital TV providers offering packages, bundles and more to suit your individual requirements. Top Up TV is one such provider which offers Freeview customers flexibility and no extortionate fees so you can pay for the channels that you enjoy watching.

This is ideal for those who would like to watch sports channels as you can get Sky Sports 1 & 2 in addition to ESPN all in one package, for the ultimate sports viewing without having to get Sky. Often customers who only want a few specific channels prefer to use this service as it allows them to watch and pay for the channels that they are going to actually use.

The Top Up digital TV provider also offers ten extra additional channels which are not available on Freeview and include all round entertainment channels such as, UKTV Gold, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, UK Style, Eurosport, TCM, Discovery, UK Food, Bloomberg and Toonami.

If you want more premium choices and a wider variety of viewing options you may want to consider Sky TV which offers monthly packages and varying prices. Sky offers a variety of packages for you to choose from such as Music, Children's, News, Style and Culture, Variety and Knowledge.

In addition Sky also gives you the opportunity to mix your packages with broadband and calls to provide you with the ultimate package for your needs. Sky also offers specific packages to cater for the whole family such as the Movie Lover package and Sky Sports Pack. If you want more variety and choice from your normal daily viewing then it may be worth considering the wide range of programming options available through Sky.

If you are stuck between the two and do not know which one to buy then here are two vital points you should consider. Are you going to be watching a wide variety of channels or just specific channels? Do you want an all round package deal with broadband and calls?

If you do want specific channels at a fraction of the price and do not want to pay for channels which you are not going to watch then it may be worth opting for Top Up TV. However if it's a wider scope of entertainment you are looking for, to keep the whole family happy then it may be worth going for Sky. In addition with both of these options you can get extra features such as more channels to give you more choice.

Whichever digital TV provider you choose you can be rest assured that you will be getting the best value for money as both these providers aim to satisfy your viewing requirements.
