Despite the lies that maybe 'preached' on these forums, Sky does lose Programme data on occassions and is far from the perfect system.

It says 'further information currently unavailable' and sometimes the reboot doesnt even fix it.
The real solution is to use something like digiguide or the gold old TV Times!

In fairness all EPGs are useless to me, the Sky one more useless on the principle it takes me away from the TV and plays really crap music I dont want to listen to!

I prefer ntls more functional Now and Next bar with the info button, I dont really care about 7 day functionality as I tend to plan viewing on the night, on Bromley I dont seem to lose programme data much anyway.

The ntl reminder is much better because it makes a noise, if you making a brew or washing up you might miss the Sky one.

There is also the midly dodgy will it wont it Sky Picture problem, during winter months, I remember being at my girlfriends last winter during the snow and Sky was off...........gold old analogue tv! I also remember numerous problems with ice, rain, cloud and fog when I had Sky.......I did have a dodgy install, with a good install you should get a stronger signal but even thats not perfect.
