Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Yeah I like the new look, much better than the overly bright blue it was before. In line with the new EPG Look.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

I'll add to the praise for the new look app, much better than before. Bringing the clash resolution to iPhone is also very welcome.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

I fully expect Sky to be at the fore front of any changes coming in the next 12 months. Whilst other providers will follow closely "coming soon" ;-)

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Could Disney , Universal and Syfy soon be added to Sky's catch up service , the link below 1. Catch up TV now even better shows images of Universal , Disney and Syfy.

I don't know if you can see it in the above picture however Syfy, Universal and Disney all have "coming soon" written below their icons. That to me suggests these are 100% on the way.

SKY offer more catch up content than any other UK TV provider. SKY have done this over an 8 month period. It's exciting times if you enjoy catch up TV and have SKY. What amazes me is SKY still really aren't heavily pushing or promoting the service. That's what makes me wonder what the next 12 months will bring. If this what SKY deliver on the quiet, I can't wait to see what happens when they give it a big push. I think SKY will have most popular TV channels covered by this time next year.
