New Sky+ HD EPG imminent

The long-awaited new Sky+ HD EPG changes are on their way soon according to Digital Spy.

Whilst this is excellent news for Sky+ HD owners, what about us “bog standard” Sky+ users? At the very least can they eradicate the bugs we currently live with?

Once again, I’m left wishing for a twin-tuner Freeview return to the UK for TIVO.

BSkyB hold onto Premiership

News in that BSkyB have hung on to their main live Premiership matches, 4 out of the 6 packages – so no surprise there. Really does anyone else in UK broadcasting have the money (or balls) to take them on?

 

The two remaining packages which Setanta currently holds are still up for grabs. Setanta are in the bid and rumour has it ESPN may be having a look. More worrying for Setanta though is that BSkyB can still buy one of these, which would severly damage Setanta’s current offering.

BBC have hung onto highlights, so Match of the Day is safe.
