Five Reviews

Don't worry if you miss a live football match on channel 5, you are safe in the knowledge that it will be repeated every night for the rest of the week on Live and Dangerous. That is if you can watch it through the fuzz and thats not just the bad reception. Surely if channel 5 paid more than the minimum wage they could ...  Read the complete review

Channel 5 has to be owned by Sky. Everywhere in the North of England can not pick channel 5 clearly. It’s an awful picture quality and you have to have sky to be able to view it properly. It’s also has a very similar tackiness to Sky with many computerised purple backgrounds and has News reports in the middle of programs. ...  Read the complete review

Why should you stop knocking 5? Simply because the people at work behind channel 5 are trying their best against tough competiton. When you consider that they haven't got half as much money as the BBC nor have they been around as long as ITV you have to cut them SOME slack. Okay, I know that some parts of the country STILL ...  Read the complete review

When I first heard that we were goning to have a 5th free tv channel I was excited. I thought that this would give me some more varity as of what I want to watch. When it came out I was very disapointed. There is (or ever has been) not one good show, on this channel. They have their own cheap and nasty attemp at a soap. A couple ...  Read the complete review

Channel 5 is complete and utter trash and isn't far removed from being porn TV. I am far from being a prude (I will be launching an adult entertainment web site, though not porn) - in fact, I am extremely broad minded. I think that the bosses at Channel 5 have a fetish for naked flesh and, as long as they can flash a naked body on ...  Read the complete review

Am I the only person in the world who hates football coverage on Channel 5. Jonathon Pearce is the most bias and annoying commentator that we have on television. He is far too aggressive for this role, and we need to have some one calmer instead. The coverage is not as good as ITV in general, and the half time analysis is laughable. With ...  Read the complete review

It might be the highest number, in the channels but as they say "size doesn't matter." First thing that is wrong about five is that the picture is not very clear, and is sometimes can get very snowy which is not acceptable. but maybe that isn't there fault, or maybe it is. The major problem I have with ...  Read the complete review

Hello, who's bright idea was it to add this channel to terrestrial TV. This must be one of the worst channels ever. The programmes are boring and most not worth watching. I think the only good thing about channel 5 is... and... oh yeah and you can't forget... No nothing i can think of. I think the worst thing about the ...  Read the complete review

Available to most of the UK via terrestrial signal and analogue, Sky Digital this channel is quite good which has surprised me. The programming is very good especially on an evening for example I usually watch the Nine O Clock movie, which is usually a premier for a terrestrial channel. I have to admit that I watch this ...  Read the complete review

Well, Channel 5 has been around for quite a while now. So, is it any good. The answer - pretty much a resounding "NO"! First the good parts. There is some good football coverage, while fans of American sports are in their element with ice hockey, baseball etc. Family Affairs is quite realistic, and the only soap ...  Read the complete review

Ok i've just tuned channel 5 into my new t.v about 2 weeks ago, and to be honest there are not many good programmes. They've got no football programmes like transworld sport, match of the day etc. They only sometimes show live games. But because millions of people don't get a good reception they don't watch channel 5. ...  Read the complete review

Channel 5 has been around for over three years now and people have constantly complained over how they use sex to get viewers. But in this world I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Don't get me wrong i don't want sex in my face all the time but the fact is: sex sells. Channel 5 is the new kid on the block ...  Read the complete review

I like to watch some of the programs on channel 5, but in my area the reception can be really bad. Channel 5 does feature some really good films, they have a film on every night at 9.00pm but most of the time it's unwatchable. My favourite soap Prisoner Cell Block H is on channel 5 at 4.40am in the morning, but a lot of ...  Read the complete review

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Those adverts for accident help lines, they are on Channel 5 every 10 - 15 minutes, not just one company, about 3 so far, drives me insane! Channel 5, its ok nothing amazing, kids programs are good in the morning with 'Milkshake' and Leeza is ok to do the ironing too! Not sure about the American ...  Read the complete review

Britain's latest, and 5th terrestrial TV channel is a bit of a shambles really! I remember all the hype surrounding it before it came on air. And all we got treated to was reject programs of all the other channels, poor gameshows, dull dramas...And everything else pointless and boring. Basically 5 is the channel where the rejects ...  Read the complete review

I think Channel 5 is a bit of a “noddy” TV station. It seems to show a range of cheap tacky programmes such as Sunset Beach, Days of Our Lives, Family Affairs, not to mention all the pornography that it puts on it the evening. I am not going to complain however as I do not have to pay a penny for watching it. ...  Read the complete review

Channel five had a big launch with the Spice Girls. Now they must think back and say to themselves 'Oh my god, no wonder the public hate me'. NEVER have I seen such rubbish put on to the television screen. Even daytime channel 2 is better. From the beginning, channel five put on rubbish. Second rate stuff that ...  Read the complete review

I think channel five is rubbish the signal is rubbish not many people can get it on their tv`s in some places most of the tv programs are really corny with rubbish acting like Sunset beach now who the hell watches that crap you can not even see who is acting on it. The best things are on late at night the films are really good and ...  Read the complete review

I seem to be in the minority but i really think channel 5 has some really great programmes . Channel 5 broadcasts a good selection of films like it's recent showing of Dirty Harry and The Candidate . I am also a fan of 100% channel 5's quiz show where it is just questions and answers and not beating around the bush asking a ...  Read the complete review

Is there anybody out there who could not receive Channel five before but now can, when they first went to air they promised that within five years the whole country would be able to receive it but so far nothing. Surely under their licence agreement coverage for the whole country had to be guaranteed in a certain time and if this is not ...  Read the complete review
