Sky+ & HD menu system

maobrien53 · 11-07-2009, 10:37

I just installed Sky HD after using a freeview box and am really dissaponted with the menu system. e.g.

- Font is so large most menu title don't show in full
- constant need to press 'i' to get program info instead of being able to see that as you scroll thru programs.
- programs I am not subscibed to show and you only find out once you've selected it (can they be greyed out)
- etc

It seems a real step backwards from what I had with the freeview box. Is there an alternate menu system that can be downloaded from anywhere?

Which version of the EPG do you have?

I still have the old version which does have a large font, but I sometimes find that with my freeview and V+ boxes that I can't read the full title (Who wants to be a millionaire etc.).

There is a new Sky HD EPG on the way; some people have it, others (myself included) will have to wait (around 4 - 6 weeks was the last estimate)

Thanks, do you know how I check which version of EPG I have?

I understand the new epg has the small tv screen visible similar to V+. If you've not got that you're on the old epg.
