The Box is shown in the UK and Ireland and shows Music Videos on request of viewer, you can ring in and request the songs that you want to be played, the ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion this channel was great. When I first got Sky in 2000, fair enough there wasn't the amount of music channels there is now, but The Bob was my favourite channel. Tis was because it always featured the up to date pop music videos and just the general chart stuff I like. The format has changed over the years though. This ...  Read the complete review

There's something I need to get of my chest before I start. Pop Music today is bloody awful. I do not for the life of me understand why talentless, soul less, tone deaf no-bodies like Westlife, S Club 7 and the like sell records. Worse still, we have now got the current crop of "popstars": glorified kareoke singers murder Elvis ...  Read the complete review

The rise of Digital Television has resulted in a number of things: greater choice, greater value for money, and an impossibility to avoid that man who sells blenders. One area where it has probably had greatest impact is in music television. People with Sky can now see a total of 13 music which are on tap 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. MTV, ...  Read the complete review

The box is a music channel on cable and satellite television. The main purpose of it is, that viewers phone up to vote for their favourite music videos using the selection numbers which are usually shown at the bottom of the screen while videos are being played. The slogan of the channel is 'music television you control', which is ...  Read the complete review

TheBox is said to be a great channel with lots of fantastic features....Which it is in its own right, but are we actually seeing what we are selecting? Before I try to answer that, Thebox IS actually a good channel. I mean it has well over 90 vids to choose from, and usually playlists new bands/new videos well before any of the other ...  Read the complete review

The Box was the first interactive jukebox channel aimed at the UK, playing the freshest new music, and some old firm favourits, its the only EMAP channel avaliable on all platforms (Except ITVDigital) Whether you like rap, hip-hop, pop music or even rock you will find it all on this channel. Last year the channel upgraded to a ...  Read the complete review

The box is a one of many Music television channels on SKY Digital television, and you have to say it’s far from the best. I have had experience of ‘The Box’ TV channel since I had SKY 2 years ago; it was the music area of the channels that I first turned to. To tell you the truth the box was not the fist on my list, ...  Read the complete review

As many digital TV subscribers will know, there is a vast array of music channels available, however the new trend is moving towards viewer-controlled music channels, one of the earliest being The Box (channel 449, Sky Digital). These channels simply involve viewers phoning up a specific number (usually a premium rate phone number), then ...  Read the complete review

During this week I have had a few days leave from work and during the day I have often had the television channel The Box on in the background. I have always thought of this as a non-stop music channel, but what I have now realised is just how much of the time there just is no music. Between the videos there are commercials and promotions ...  Read the complete review

...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 ...  Read the complete review

The Box can be a great music channel or it can be very ordinary. I think it really depends what is in the charts. As their play list is very limited they are forced to offer the most recent releases with few older records on offer. Indeed the older records are almost exclusive to the current flavour of the month. For example Westlife and ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I really do not like the box. Really. The picture quality is awful, as is the sound. Some of the videos are worthy of appraisal, but most are the pop rubbish that gets regularly voted for by teenage girls. No offence to teenage girls, as being an 18 yr old blokey person I have a vested interest. The box really should have more variety and ...  Read the complete review

The Box - Music television you control! Now don’t get me wrong one thing you must understand is that I love the Box! I have watched the box non-stop for hours on end because I love music. I have my stereo linked up through my TV and I normally just leave the box running. This can get quite annoying at times because there are a lot ...  Read the complete review

This channel is one of the best music channel.It has the slogan music television you contro. That's exactly what you do, you phone up and vote. The only disapponiting thing is you can wait up to 6 hours till your video gets played. They have all the new songs and the newest out to vote for and they play 24hours a day. They hava a ...  Read the complete review

The Box - Smash hits you control! For regular viewers of The Box, a music channel available on cable, satellite and digital, the above phrase will be familiar as it is the channel’s current catchphrase. But do you really control the hits? Well, you can certainly control, to an extent, what you see on screen by calling up a ...  Read the complete review

I think THE BOX music channel, is appalling with its Rip-off attitude of charging 60 pence a minute videos, terrible quality of the videos and the sound is very very dull. Another gripe about THE BOX is how bloody long do you have to wait to see these videos, I was in my friends the other week having a drink, so we decided to try out THE ...  Read the complete review

Do YOU control The Box? Well in theory you do! But not as much as you would like! OK, they have quite a range of songs to choose from, but they are all the latest hits! Searching for a song of your choice is really quite difficult, you could actually wait for the number to scroll across the bottom of the screen. The other option is to try ...  Read the complete review

I think "The Box" is a terrible channel, and basicly I also think it is a total rip-off. I mean it is terrible the way you get charged 60 pence a minute to watch a Video, that you can see on any of the numerous Music channels, free of charge. And before anyone comes back with the comment that "You get to choose ...  Read the complete review
