New Sky Guide Beta - Your thoughts and issues.
 

I like the new guide. Its slick, sharp and colours are nice. I have found 1 bug so far. When your on guide and you can see the different categories, if you got to All or Entertainment and then go to HD & 3D you can quickly see it go from the list of all channels to just the HD channels. Try it and you will see what i mean

I guess this post now belongs here. :)

Just had a quick play with the new EPG before work and it looks really slick. I've uploaded a couple of pics and a quick video to show everyone the changes. :)

Loving it so far, a lot more modern looking than the old one.

I agree, looks very modern now

I personally like them , I've noticed on my 9mb Sky connection that HD entertainment shows now seem to start in under 60 seconds like movies always have for me , before HD entertainment shows could take upto 5 minutes for me.

I took a while for me on 17MB connection, ive not had chance to test it yet as had to leave for work, hopefully will be speedy for me as well

Forum for testers is now live to post any issues. Also it lists know issues which i have pasted below:-

http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Enhanced...ge/td-p/392303

* Planner – during our testing and internal trials a very small number of cases were reported where planner content appeared to be missing or where items could not be deleted. In both cases a reboot or planner rebuild resolved these problems and planner content was not lost.
* Planner – future recordings do not currently show the % disk space that will be used.
* Planner – rarely, you may see that the yellow “delete” button is missing. Selecting another recording and then the first recording will reveal the yellow button and let you delete.
* Playback – rarely, some of our internal trial users found that when selecting to play Anytime, Anytime+ or recordings, live TV was displayed instead. A reboot resolved the issue.
* MiniTV – MiniTV may not show video in the EPG when the channel you are watching required a PIN to view or you were watching other PIN protected content.

Having lived with the new EPG for a few days now I can honestly say I've yet to see a single bug, glitch or mishap!

Sky really have nailed it with this release, the overall look & feel is now extremely polished.

re: New Sky Guide Beta - Your thoughts and issues.
 

Mine has been pretty much the same bar one minor issue.

re: New Sky Guide Beta - Your thoughts and issues.
 

I'm on Sky HD and don't seem to have this yet. Any way to force it?

re: New Sky Guide Beta - Your thoughts and issues.
 

No mate it's still in Beta trial at the moment should be rolled out in the next three to four months I believe.

re: New Sky Guide Beta - Your thoughts and issues.
 

Understood. In that case, we need a mod to change the thread title to reflect the beta status.

re: New Sky Guide Beta - Your thoughts and issues.
 

Agreed probably would have been better , hopefully a mod will change it.

re: New Sky Guide Beta - Your thoughts and issues.
 

Sorry about title name people, my bad. Ill go in the corner and shoot my self now :D

re: New Sky Guide Beta - Your thoughts and issues.
 

We'll let you off :D ......this time :)

You were right about that indexing issue , go Entertainment - HD/3D and All channels flashes up briefly
