TMF and The Hits. For you aren't worth bothering about, I like them if that's ok with you! To get VMX, MTV 1 etc you need to fork out another £16 on top of your basic subscription which I honestly don't feel like doing.
The +1 channels might not be of your interest, but I'd quite like to have them. If Freeview users get them for nothing, why should we not when we are paying a monthly subs?!??”
I don't know where you go to buy a Freeview box but you can pick them up quite cheaply for around £14 (Look in Poundstrechers, Tesco, Cash Converters etc.) , so if you did that you would be saving money anyway if you didn't want to buy the Music Pack on Tiscali!!! Personally for me I have pretty much everything, Music and Kids packs and it is certainly good value anyway, plus I have 3 freeview boxes in the house.
I don't see why people moan so much about Tiscali, seriously I was with Telewest for 3 years and they were far more useless than Tiscali TV are (my parents have also been with Telewest/ Virgin Media for 20 years as they had it when cable first started in Croydon in the 80's and they are thinking changing over services to Tiscali or Sky).
Also when you have the option of BBC Replay and 4OD I don't still see the need for the +1 channels.
If you want them I also don't see the problem of buying a freeview box if you desperately want them so much as these channels really are a waste of space and could be used for better programming.
