Sky+ HD Guide
The new Sky+HD Guide coming soon, very soon
Sky confirm roll out of the new Sky+ HD Guide is imminent, starting off with Thomson Sky+HD Boxes
Earlier on this evening, Sky posted the following in our forums.
As you may know we’ve been busy developing the all new Sky+HD Guide exclusively for Sky+HD customers. Over the next few months we’ll be gradually rolling it out to our HD customers. If you’ve got a Sky+HD box we will send you an information pack a few days before we automatically upload the new Guide to your box, so look out for it in the coming months
How is the Sky+HD Guide different?
With an all new look, the Sky+HD Guide offers new features to make it even easier to find, watch and record the programmes you love across our wide range of content, including 32 HD channels.
The Sky+HD Guide is in high definition and displays all your options on a single screen. Other features of the new Guide include:
• New Mini TV means you can now browse and watch TV at the same time. So you’ll never have to miss a minute of your favourite show again.
• Improved Now Next and Later banner now lets you read a programme synopsis for any programme across any channel up to 12 hours ahead without interrupting your viewing.
• Improved record and series link makes it even easier for you to record and series link straight from the TV listings without having to go back to your Planner.
• New Series Stack feature neatly files all the episodes of the same series in one place within your Planner, by grouping them under the series name. Making it even easier to find and manage your recordings.
• Improved Search feature makes it even easier to discover more of the programmes you love
• New coloured Shortcut Buttons have also been added for quicker and even easier navigation.
Why aren’t we all getting the Sky+HD Guide at the same time?
All Sky+HD customers will receive the Sky+HD Guide over the next few months. The roll-out will be phased to ensure that there are no disruptions to your HD experience. The first group to receive the Sky+HD Guide will be made up of some of our customers with Thomson Sky+HD boxes.
What will I need to do to get started?
You don’t need to do anything. We’ll be automatically uploading the new Sky+HD Guide to your current Sky+HD box. Your recordings and settings will be saved and you can continue to use your existing remote control. As with all of our products, we’ve designed the Guide so that it’s easy to use, it won’t take long for you to familiarise yourself with the new Sky+HD Guide.

Enjoy exploring your new Sky+ HD Guide

On the price increase topic, mine has gone up with no notice, that is really shocking that they can do that, I know of no other company that wouldn't send a letter.
The main complaint is the number of button clicks to navigate anywhere.
The worst example is when in the guide six line window, you cannot enter a channel number to jump. You have to page up/down six lines at a time. If you are in a category you cannot navigate anywhere. Who thought this was progress?
When in All Programmes list, entering three digits to jump to a channel does not work (most of the time).
Example If I enter 501 I see
5-- 0--- 1--
Occasionally it works as expected and jumps to the 501 channel on the list.
