Sky update
liam.mccaffrey - 15/4/09 at 04:14 PM

has anyone had the sky program guide update yet? I haven 't but i had a play with my step father in laws who has

I was very impressed, crappy colour scheme but fixes some very annoying problems

ooh what kind of things does it fix?

does it let you choose a time for its auto standby, instead of it just deciding to do it whenever, usually just as i get into bed with the telly on, and the control's downstairs? (multiroom thingy on 1 box)

i didn't check that!

you now have a picture in picture when navigating the tv guide and you can preview channels in the pip without leaving tv guide. Currently you have to view the channel to find out you don't want to watch the show and then have to navigate back through the tv guide to get where you were before

different colour scheme

different tab style services layout, much friendlier imho

nearly

the box i saw it on was a hd one which is what i have

I think it's only the HD box that gets the update...

From memory I think HD programming should be highlighted in a different colour to SD?

Mine hasn't changed, is it a rolling update or what??

Apparently older boxes first then working up to new installs

Got up this morning to see it for the first time. best bit is the program description in the guide with out pressing the i button.

Worst bit, for our lass anyway, (blind bint) is the channel numbers have shrunk!
