Though ive never had VUTV as i have virgin media so never had a need, i also never thought it looked that brilliant either heard the picture quality was quite poor and kinda unreliable (only know 2 people to of used it though). But i do have access to the TV player plus see as its free during the beta i accepted the invite and have to say for the price its going to be it dose look a lot better value and im sure if you can get VUTV you should be able to get TV player via the FV HD platform so id recommend looking into it for the near future,
Though a note to add in the beta at least there is no comedy central but there is a fair more channels in general 23 vs 13 (+ the free ones already on there)
there's also always now TV if you want CC
