Default Sky update not as advertised

I was expecting the new epg to have radio stations starting 0 eg radio
one would be 0101, but although my box has had an update the radio
stations are still channels 850 upwards and now pressing 0 doenst make
the radio symbol appear. Has it gone wrong?

Thanks Ian

When my sky plus box comes in a couple of weeks how does it get the
latest epg software? I presume it's been stuck in a warehouse for a
month or two. Does sky broadcast OTA updates all the time?

you'd have thought that in such a major overhaul they'd get UKG2+ next
to UKTV G2 and more 4 + next to more4. Weird

The box will download the latest software when it's installed.

Moving away slightly does this mean that from next week my Tivo will be
unable to recognse the radio stations (now they are 4 digits) and how will
this affect the TV channels (mainly 401 - Sky Sports) and the usual BBC ones
too?

Is Tivo going to change its EPG too then in the light of this? The reason
for asking is that the radio listings on Tivo still show radio programmes as
they were over a year ago and have not noticed the changes that some
stations have made with diff presenters/times etc!

the "0" now totally replaces the "speaker" symbol - due to complaints. The
new remotes were to have a special radio button but consumers in the focus
groups were too thick to get it.

Retards. How does one get in a Sky focus group anyway?

Thread on this is on tivocommunity.com in the UK section. Short
answer: no out of the box solution as Tivo can't send codes beginning
with a 0. Longer answer: hacks probably made available.
