Cube Gets It Only Half Right

I came to CUBE TV with the same expectations I've brought to all the IP TV channels and services I've looked at. Sad to say this was a let down. I registered, pressed the Channel buttons, spent some time waiting around for content to appear, watched the digital clock count down. Nothing.

CUBE has a small number of channels up there (two ITV locals, HYP, Fine Wine, Information, Music and Real Estate) but only the last of these worked for me. What use a channel you can't see?

It was only when I went to the Electronic Programme Guide that I found out all the CUBE channels were off-air (though Real Estate worked). But none of this makes sense. It should be a 24/7 experience; if there's maintenance going on we should be told. The interface shouldn't leave us staring at a blank box.

This is the first time I've felt negative about an IP TV initiative. Hope CUBE can explain.
