    Heart TV is great so far and I love the presentation. They play a lot more variety and obscure stuff than most of the other channels and it's definitely offering something different which is great. I can see it being very popular, especially with people aged over 25.

    Club Classics and Heart Party yesterday afternoon and evening were great for 80s/90s/00s dance, r&b and hip hop. I only heard a couple of repeats in about six hours. :)

    I also like it how Global have stuck the DOGs on these channels in the top right corners. It's rare to see them in this position on UK channels these days and reminds me of channels like MTV back in the 90s. :)

    It appears to be not so bad so far. Far far better than Capital.

    Indeed. I guess capital is ok for a quick tune in for a hit music fix and heart is more for older people and more songs.

    Heart is much better than Capital but the only problem is Heart TV is almost exactly the same as Bliss.

    On the plus side, I haven't seen Adele yet.

    Sadly I was right with my post yesterday the same songs being played tonight as last night but in different order. Still like the channel but sadly global living up to their promise of poor playlists as normal but I will continue to watch on occasions to see if the playlists change bit I'm not holding my breath but the presentation of the channel is Nice.

    Sounding interesting. I'm 22 and absolutely fed up with channels that show the Top 40 on a loop. I tend to watch the likes of VH1 more than MTV. What sort of more obscure stuff did they play? Anything interesting?

    Same i too am fed up of Top 40 on a loop there's no escaping it no matter what channel you want to watch probably MTV Classic and Vintage is where you not going to hear it but for the rest its everywhere.

    I don't hear it much on MTV Dance or VH1 either. MTV Dance does play some chart music (since when was Cheryl Cole considered dance??) but at the moment they're playing old school dance. They often play a lot of 90s and 00s stuff. VH1 are playing 90s and 00s pop at the moment. As I type this I'll Stand By You by Girls Aloud is on. I don't really care about the charts as much as I used to.

    Was it a dance remix of Under The Sun by Cheryl Cole?

    Clubland TV plays The Alias Remix which I like but I hate the original (and any other Cheryl Cole song for that matter)

    Heart has only been broadcasting for less than 3 days and I'm already bored of it. Both Heart and Capital are failures in my eyes.

    This is the type of comment that is often seen in the radio forum with regards to Heart and Capital. Yet surprisingly they're both extremely popular with average, non-DS listeners. We'll have to wait and see if the TV channels prove to be the same, the poor channel numbers on Sky won't help but maybe all the on air promotion will.

    There seems to be good feedback about the production values and the way the videos segue together

    I like Heart simply because it plays good music and their section is rather interesting obviously like every music channel it will play some songs that i might not like but Heart's playlists are mostly great.

    I think it was. They also played Call My Name. I don't really like any Cheryl songs apart from 3 Words and Parachute.

    Heart tv went off air tonight for about 10 mins and at The moment instead of club classics they are playing more music variety so something went wrong.
