Advantages: Noce big selection. Can be relied upon to keep you entertained

Disadvantages: Too many songs played over and over.

The Box is the new music channel which allows you to choose what Music Videos you want to see. It is basically 24 hours of Music videos which can be chosen by ringing a premium rate phone number and choosing the video of your choice. While a video is playing there are choices displayed at the bottom of the screen so that users can see what they want to play.

The Box is quite a handy channel to have as it can always be relied upon to keep you entertained when there is nothing on the other channels. It is on 24 hours a day so quite a lot while I was at University I used to come home from a heavy nights drinking and watch the Box. How things have changed!

My main problems with this channel are the fact that between 4 and 6pm each night you can guarantee that the channels is swamped with pop songs which are chosen by school children. There is only so many times that I can watch Steps without be annoyed! Also the music quality doesnt seem as clear as say channels like MTV. This maybe down to the bandwidth that the Box has compared to the bigger music Channels. You can guarantee that if you watch it for more then an hour you will start to get repeated songs. My gym has the Box on in the background and it is starting to get annoying, the amount of repeated songs.

If you want a channel to keep you entertained when nothing else is on then the Box is the channel for you. They have up to date songs playing so you will be able to keep up with the latest and greatest things in the pop world.
