Advantages: None whatsoever

Disadvantages: It costs money

...your television set and go and do something less boring instead?

Remember those jukeboxes in pubs where you put in a £1 and you eventually got 3 songs from an old 'Now That's What I Call Music' compilation? Well, now you can spend at least twice that amount ringing 'The Box' to register your insignificant vote and wait in vain for 6 hours because no-one else voted for it. Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?

And to make matters worse you have to watch everyone else struggling to register their votes on-screen. Laugh as you punch in '666' when Britney Spears sings 'Oops' for the 20th time that morning. And they still have adverts!

The content unavoidably suffers from having no clear theme running through it, whereas you know what you're getting with VH1 and MTV Base, for example.

I say don't vote, and then 'The Box' will really be in trouble. Perhaps then they'll PAY US to vote?
