Main advantages of TUTV are no tie-in to a 12 month contract and no need
for a dish if you are interested in getting the following channels...

UKTV Gold, E4, UKTV Style, Discovery, Cartoon Network, Discovery Home &
Leisure, Boomerang, TCM, Bloomberg, UKTV Food.

I have to admit to being a bit of a channel freak, so if it's up there, I
want it. So I have Sky with a view to getting either a dual/triple dish or
motorised system soonish.

I don't know a lot about the TUTV boxes as I haven't looked at them in
detail but as far as I know they're nothing special, just freeview
receivers with a card slot. You can also use the old On/ITVDigital boxes
to receive TUTV.
