The Box Reviews

The Box is a music channel with a difference in that YOU choose what is shown on TV! Simply look on the fastext option on your TV through this channel and find the song that you would like to hear and see the video of, and you'll notice that there's a number next to the song. Phone up the box and select this number and then listen and ...  Read the complete review

The Box is a music channel which is on Satellite/Cable. A list of songs is displayed on the screen as each music video plays. The same list can be accessed on Teletext (if your television has that facility). Every song has a corresponding 3 digit number which you make note of, and when you call up The Box (60p per minute) you type this number in. ...  Read the complete review

The Box is a channel on sky and cable. It's supposed to be you ring up for a song, and they play it with the video. It costs 60p per min, they take the number of the song and play it. My experience of the Box has been nothing but bad. I have phoned and they have not put my song in. I have sat watching for hours and nothing has happened! ...  Read the complete review

The Box is an excellent idea that has produced other simlar channels in KISS and Q. The Box basically consists of a playlist of different songs. Viewers phone up and type the code of the video they want to see and it is played. The Box gives what channels like MTV(which I like a lot) can't give, complete control to the viewers, This is ...  Read the complete review

The Box is a pop music channel which first started on cable TV in 1992, and is now also on Sky Digital. I recieve it as part of the "music and games", which I subscribe to as part of my NTL cable TV and telephone package, which costs just £3 a month. I have only had this pack for 2 weeks. The Box is quite different to the ...  Read the complete review

This Box is an Interactive music channel, although it this is not such a good thing. To request a song you must phone a number, which costs 60p per minute. This, however is only a minor disadvantage. The Box shows mainly Pop music video’s including people like Briteny Spears. I find this channel not as good as it could be because after about ...  Read the complete review

The Box is Britain’s no.1 most watched music channel; even more viewed that MTV and VH-1. Its simple, its just like a jukebox phone up on a premium sort of number [60p a minute] have your code ready for a song and just use your keypad to type in the song number. It takes quite a while for your request to be shown but as you type the number ...  Read the complete review

This is a video juke box channel. The choice of videos is extensive but they lack classic records. It costs 60p per minute to place your request, and you are kept listening for nearly 2 minutes before you can actually really enter your request. It's quite cool when your numbers are visibly seen on the TV screen. The worst ...  Read the complete review

My opinion on the music channel the Box is that it's getting a bit boring and isn't coming up with the material needed to make a good music channel. I think the box has fallen behind to MTV and the new Kiss channel which is just like the box but has much better songs. I would have to say the men at the Box would need ...  Read the complete review

There are so many music channels, especially if you have Sky digital. The Box is a channel, which is controlled by viewers. You phone in and select a song of their play list, and if loads of people vote for that song you get it played. The channel is controlled by the viewers. It plays some really good songs and videos. It plays ...  Read the complete review

So they’ve got rid of that nasty glossy sheen that has bogged it down since it’s existence around a month ago but still it cannot improve it’s output. Alongside two new ‘rivals’ in the form of Q and Kiss, The Box now probably intends on reaching out to the teenybopper audience of which there are many and who probably ...  Read the complete review

The slogan for The Box is 'Music television you control'. The concept is that The Box is like a music video jukebox. You phone up and vote for the video you want to see. However, the phonecalls are something like 60p/min. And all you are doing is voting for your favourite video, it doesn't mean they will actually play the video when ...  Read the complete review

Being the first of its kind in the UK, the Box was and still is a very interesting concept, and potentially very profitable. However, charging the extortionate rates they do to apply for a song to be shown, it makes more sense to buy the CD single off the Internet, as chances are you will request a song, and unless 50% of the population agrees ...  Read the complete review

That's right, you can ring up the Box 24hrs a day, and get them to play one of their large catalogue of music videos, which cater for almost all tastes! I don't actually bother ringing up, but just watch the channel, as there's almost always a good one on every 2 or 3 songs, or at least if you like pop songs there is.. ...  Read the complete review

The Box is a great channel - IF you like R&B or teenie bopper snogs. Otherwise it`s a waste of time. The videos are fuzzy, you have to wait for hours (or sometimes even days) for your song to come on, the songs you can chose between are very limited, with very few older songs on. Then to top it all off you have to pay a huge amount for the ...  Read the complete review

The box has to be one of the best music channels around. It plays just music unlike its counterparts MTV and VH1 which are good in their own right, but they have too much other stuff on their too. The box is pure music, a few ads which are irrelevant. The mix is good a few older songs with mostly new, you get to see and hear new songs ...  Read the complete review

This is a good music channel and the concept is very good, people ring up and choose a song, and if alot of people ring up for that song they play it. So, it lets the viewers chose, which is good in theory. But, i think it is badly organised you can never get through as i have found out and several occasions, and it is premium rate, so ...  Read the complete review

This musical part of cable and satellite TV is definitely more than a box in my opinion! This great channel doesn't just play endless music which half you don't like because it gives you a choice. Don't understand what i mean. The Box every now and then displays lists of songs and artists each with a 3 digit number next to it. Then ...  Read the complete review

The Box is one of the best music channels in my opinion, it plays all the latest songs and some old ones, so when a song comes out which you like, you already know the words to it. At home, we are on cable, The Box is on channel 38, it's great, you can ring up (calls cost about 60p a minute though!)and choose what song you want to be ...  Read the complete review

Great Idea this one, I mean you play the music the people want. But how good is THE BOX? I watched the box when it first got started a fair few years back. I was excited at the prospect of watching all the latest video's that the public wanted to watch. Even better when it first started out there was no adverts! my ...  Read the complete review
