Sky's digital epg was so far ahead of any of the competition at the time it was launched, I think they have sat on their laurels a bit and done less than they could have to keep it cutting edge. It got its first update in years a few weeks ago, and has greatly improved the way Favourite Channels works, amongst other things. However it is still not as flexible as the NTL epg.

On the other hand, you do get a full week's listings out of it, which makes setting the STB and the video to work together while you're on holiday a lot easier.
