I don't know if this is possible but I wondered if there was anyway to roll back the new SkyHD programme guide. It looks really shitty on an non-HD TV, flickers a lot, and the text is so tiny you can barely see it from the couch (holy site of the remote control).

Or are we screwed because of a HD Box (which we had no choice over) and a non-HD TV?

Bugger. They just didn't care to check how bad this looks on a non-HD box. There's a bit of a strobe off it because of the flicker.

Maybe I was a bit silly posting this in the relevant thread

What does everyone think of the new EPG?

I think it looks nice and refreshing, not used any new features yet and not sure if they'll be much use.

The only thing I don't like is the extra screen after selecting a genre (eg. Kids). It's only an extra button press to get to the listings but sometimes my fingers are on autopilot when finding cartoons for the little lass in the morning. I'm sure I'll adapt and survive.

Oooh, fair enough. Loopholes and semantics, are you involved in law?

I've only done some law modules but I don't think that counts
