I like the look of the discovery bar and the channel logos look good , text input could be easier however that is defo going to change ;)

For me Sky's EPG is clean looking , intuitive and pretty responsive with all the key features , this is really a subject what is down to preference. My friend who's TIVO I've used swears by his suggestions now and says his hours spent thumbing up and down has paid dividends :D

I will agree 100% as I too have used both :D (maybe a first for me:))

I still do not like SKY'S EPG as it seems to look like when you open windows in safe and networking mode:erm:

OK..I'm sold the EPG is the most important thing but 1 question..

What channels can I find

Sky ATLANTIC hd
Cartoon network HD
Sky sports 3&4 HD
Disney channel HD
Sky sports news HD
ITV 2,3,4 HD.

Its just I can't find them listed and being a Sky user I find if I am watching TV then 99.9% of my tv time is spent watching a channel not the EPG.

Leave DF alone please:) But let me ask you one question?

If you have SKY why are you posting in the VM Cable part of the forum?:confused:

(Sorry Mods about this but if I get banned I have my own blog for comments and rants)

I know, he starts a thread about the speed of the EPG's, then when he doesn't get his own way he resorts to "I've got more channels"

It's pathetic!

To be fair........

You don't have to be Albert Einstein to notice I state I'm comparing EPG's but only focus on Sky's HD EPG offering.

Anyone with half a brain would of realised the whole point of the post was to show off Sky's HD offering. But of course in the typical style of this forum you have to over Analise everything.

Its just users of 2 different TV services baiting each other. Nothing more so step back and relax lol. No life and death situations or nothing of any value happening here.

Maybe this thread should be called 'I've got Sky, please tell me it's better than Virgin'. It reminds me of the pointless console wars.

But there are other forums you can use to promote Sky's services as this is a forum which is called Cable forum but perhaps you need a pair of glases to see that.:dozey::rolleyes:

If it is true that being a TV viewer, you spend 99.9% of your time watching a channel, not the EPG, why do you want videos comparing menu speeds? Why are you comparing EPG speeds?

Unless of course, you are trolling..
