Is that a rhetorical question?

On any channel - and without changing to the EPG - any use of the arrow
keys
on the remote brings up an overlay which can be used to see what is
coming
up in the current channel (or any other) for about 8 hours ahead.


I suppose the more channels there are the more difficult that gets because
of the bandwidth usage!

AIUI some of the EPG/SI data will have to be carried on the Astra
birds, otherwise how would single tuner receivers keep tabs on the
data if they spent extended periods tuned to Astra ?

I would have thought most domestic installations would not be able to tell
whether a signal was being received from 28.2E or 28.5E (apart from any
idenifiers that may be trasmitted or internal tables)

Indeed, however you didn't quite grasp my point, but Brian answered it
really, with his comparaison pointing out the main bulk of Sky's EPG
data is carried on a separate t/p, so much the same situation exists
for Sky's platform, but that seems to work OK.

Not at all. I am a bit confused as to whether you are referring to man's
best friend or Anna Ford.

No, I was refering to Digital Onscreen Graphics which I, among others, find
really annoying.

I'm already with Sky, I'm just going to keep an eye on my statements to
make sure they don't charge me for the + part, £10pm?



that's different - sky haven't charged a sky+ subscription to subscribers
for months.
it's if you dont subscribe at all that the sky+ won't work.

Yes, I thought that might be the case when I wrote the post, and it has
been explained to me now!

Given that the BBC HD channel has a Dog I wouldn't hold out too much
hope! The only possible hope is that C4HD will be a simulcast (like Sky
One)
of HD material and (much!) upscaled SD.




all tv is upscaled to hd resolution if you own a HDTV - regardless of what
method you use to watch.

Ah, light has dawned :-)

They are annoying, I didn't know that was what they are called.
