Little improvements ( to sky )

johnnyq

Though I am happy (:)) with sky I think little improvements could be made here and there.
I thing I think would be good is if there was a countdown timer during the ads so you could flick around without missing the first few minutes after the ads.I doubt it would happen though because of the revenue lost !!!!!!!!!!


Any other ideas ???????

Being able to order your channels in whatever order you damn well want to, I'd like that.

what i would love is to be able to check a synopsis for a later programme on the search and scan banner. it is a pain having to use the EPG

Yea, I second that! It would be very handy indeed!

I'd also like an option where one button press would change the digibox picture settings from 16:9 to 4:3 etc.

or that while you are checking prem tables on text that you can still see the programme


Has anyone e- mailed their suggestions?

I want a recall button like other sat receivers have so you can hop back to the channel you were on.

god's toy

when you see a ad for a programme that you like, press select to put it in the planner. that i think be so cool!

or a small screen in the top right hand corner showing another channel. That would be great

This is actually possible but its my understanding that a customisable EPG is only available on one STB that is normally supplied to hotels with some channels distro system and costs a big hit...ofcourse

Money dictates EPG placement im sure.

A digibox can do picture in picture but given the current hardware i think only the latest STB's could handle this and i dont see many ppl digging into their own pockets to replace their box (my parents still have it goin old skool and bloody slow) and the notion of Sky offering further subsidies on new boxes to replace old ones is a stretch especially as it would be a straight swap with no new channel contract.

Also you have the limitations of Satellite broadcasting...your watching a channel that is polarised "V" you could watch channels polarised the same and vice versa.

would be nice to be able to add 'other channels' to the favourites button (radio caroline etc)
