You sure dude? Don't V+ boxes have the eight day guide for the PVR? I take it that you're also saying that V HD (totally nonplussed) boxes don't have it either.

Aylesbury switched of analogue over a year ago and we got some extra streams and channels soon after.
I guess they wuz holdin' out on us! Waitin' for the switch off to happen everywhere and completion of the NGTV roll-out.
Well, it's all good. Extra broadband bandwidth and extra TV channels.

Too many regional variations, too many boxes, too many firmware/software versions counting channels too many ways and two (one too many) EPGs.
I'm sure that economies of scale will dictate, maybe by next year, that two boxes (one PVR, one non-PVR) both HD capable will be all that's offered in future. Indeed one box supplied with/without a hard drive and remotely configured (to prevent the adventurous from fitting their own hard drive) could do the lot.
Well, until the TiVo/VM hybrid box is released, that is.
Legacy boxes will be phased out or fizzle out if they overheat.

It was clear that the screen shot was from viewing software on a PC. It was probably only able to see Five HD because it's a free-to-air channel.
