This page outlines some of the equipment capable of accepting a Top Up TV subscription card.

Top Up TV Offer

What set-top box do I need?

To view Top Up TV, you need a subscription card, and therefore a set-top box or digital TV with a card slot. Before January 2007, it was possible to buy a subscription and subscription card to allow access to Top Up TV channels for £7.99 a month, but from January 2007, Top Up TV are only providing new customers with their Top Up TV Anytime service (reviewed here)

 

Set top box compatibility

Below is a list of the models that are capable of receiving Top Up TV with a valid Top Up TV subscription card.
