Luck is the one that stood out for me too. But there are a couple on there that I will definately give a try as my main two shows for the last couple of months have been Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire so something not crime/gang related will be a breath of fresh air. |

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Not really big news as FX did this a while ago but The Wire is beginning from S1 ep1 on Sky Atlantic tonight. Worth watching if anyone missed the earlier airings on other channels.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Muppetman, do you happen to know what's happening with Sky's plans to let you access the Planner and control your box using the Sky+ app?
I noticed it mentioned as coming soon on the app store about a year ago now but haven't heard anything mentioned since |

The Sky planner is supposed to be available on tablets/smartphones while on the move also available in any outlet using The Cloud under what people are calling Sky Anywhere available at more than 5,000 places , not sure of the timeframe for this. A new look to the EPG has also been rumoured with new features (advanced search) supposedly one. Give this a read http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1601801 This video suggests things to come , you can see Sky box on desk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZee9-PrNX0 |

I've never even heard of those NDS guys before but going by that video, they look like they'll be shaping the future of TV UI's. Do you think Sky may have scrapped their plans to expand on the Sky+ app then? I've just had a quick google to make sure I was remembering correctly and found the link below. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1453411 |

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
The TiVo app for iOS is excellent & the ability to directly control your box, really adds a whole new element to the standard TV Guide apps. I'm looking forward to Sky's take on this as long as they don't leave it too long, which I don't think they will given their forward thinking approach when it comes to smart phones & tablets. :)
The snowflake UI you linked to is certainly different and graphically very attractive but i'm not sure how usable it would prove to be over prolonged periods. When you say that NDS doesn't work on the old Thompson boxes, are you saying all more recent Sky+HD boxes are capable of running that snowflake UI? It seems like it's going to be very resource intensive. :confused: |

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Thanks again MM,
That DirectTV HD guide looks super slick to navigate, this kind of buttery smooth UI is missing from all the EPG's we have in the UK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfLyS...eature=related I really like the look of the German Sky guide from the little glimpse we get in that 30 video. Do you have any links to a more in depth look at the German Sky EPG in action? I'd love to see more to make a better judgement. :) Edit: Found a better video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfLyS...eature=related |
