If i could make 1 rule for sky tv ....

it would be that they had to show a series in the right order and not have s3 e4 on sky 2, then s4 e15 on sky 1 then s2 e1 on sky 3 in the space of 2 days

oh and more importantly they should all be made to put a simple bit of info on the "i" bit ..... episode name, series number episode number i.e

Tau of Rodney / Series 3 / Episode 14

simple

as i keep recording episodes of bones as yet again it stopped mid season

Takes a bit of keeping up with ! Bones S2 starts again on the 15th of Feb.

Putting the ep details in the the info panel would be a good idea, they do it on living tv for Charmed (not that I watch it )

Yeah I'd fully support more relevant info being included in the EPG and Banner info and a redesign to maximise screen space wouldn't hurt. The EPG asthetics are getting very very tired especially given the HD option and if legacy support for first generation PACE and Amstrad boxes is holding them back then cheap or free upgrades would benefit everyone.

My rule for Sky would be "STOP TALKING OVER THE END CREDITS, YOU BAR STEWARDS!"

Regards

Mark

Yeah, the talking gets on my nerves too, but it's even worse when they shrink the ending credits to one side of the screen, and have something else on the other side. Now THAT'S annoying.

Re: If i could make 1 rule for sky tv ....

I think that's a great idea too as would help with repeats of all sorts of programmes that keep disappearing and appearing - Cold Case being another one.

It would also be good for series like Little Britain, Royle Family so if you wanted to archive them you could do so in the proper order.

Has anyone emailed this idea to Sky?
