You access this by pressing yellow from the mini-guide

Its completely different. It doesn't show whats on the channel, just the channels. If I want to see whats on the channel I have to right click over to it, and even then I only see 5 timings. Then if I want to change channel it all dissapears. Its not the same at all as being able to cycle down all the channels and for it to show basically whats on the whole evening. It just seems now to achieve something requires a helluva lot more clicks and menus visited than it did before. I'm sure someone will say, its just cos its different and you're not used to it that you don't like it. I wish it was too, but it isn't its because through both the poor speed of the new epg and the poor design and functionality achieving what you want takes a helluva lot longer than it used to, and than it should. So much so that its genuinely quicker and less frustrating to use the radio times than it is to use the epg.

Now if you are in another room you can tell if a reminder has appeared. I use it if I'm getting some food. The sounds might be annoying to some but what would you have put there?

I'm not complaining about audible reminders. I'm just commenting on the fact that they could have put abit more thought into it and chosen more pleasing sounds, they are just ugly. Personally I don't use them.
