Shame, I'm looking forward to the new look EPG. Placing an emphasis on Sky's On Demand library is a good move imo.
Will this update also come with the ever lasting series links feature?

What shows ? I've not seen this myself however I've seen reports on other forums , I believe the series link info is done by the broadcaster.

No I believe that feature will arrive in summer with the recommendations although as always that's dependant on how the software goes when tested , Sky Buy and keep will be available very soon and I'm sure catch up will grow further.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
If your a member I'd raise the issue on the Sky help forum especially as its a Sky channel.

Very interesting, Sky are the biggest On Demand player in the UK so I'll look forwards to seeing how they expand their offering.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
I've received the update on both my boxes MM (DRX895 & 890). The software version is R009.066.77.03P.
Just having a quick play now and first impressions are really positive. A nice new cleaner look whilst retaining the responsiveness that Sky are known for.

Ah right different model number too mine , I agree I prefer the new look , it gives On Demand and search more prominence and I guess encourages those who've not yet connected their boxes up to the internet to do so. The new look guide also brings a uniform look and feel across mobile apps Sky Go and Sky+ also.
Forgot to mention Buy and Keep is now live also , not something I'm interested in being I have access to Sky Movies but I'm sure some will find it useful.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Yeah, I agree MM. Really like the new look and as an On Demand lover, anything that brings more attention to that aspect of Sky is very welcome. I can't wait to see what Sky have in store for the future of On Demand!
I've just had a browse of the buy and keep library. Do you know if purchases are tied to the box or account?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Most of them points will have been raised in testing I'm sure
I'm sure they're open to feedback via the usual channels.
