    Old sky text merged into sky active with links to upgrades and text adverts - hmmmm another way of money making.

    would very much prefer the option of going full screen back again.

    Also very slow, much like sky text

    It's called 'i text' apparently.

    It seems much faster to me or is it because I have the latest Amstrad box?

    The menu system seem quite well structured, and it responds well to commands from the remote but I actually think it looks dull and dated.

    The hardware (especially HD boxes) should be capable of so much more.

    Just tried the new sky active on sky news HD and there appears to be a bug/retrograde steps.

    you used to be able to read the new/sports/entertainment stories while watching the headlines video, now you can only see the list of new stories.
    if you try to read one of the new stories the video changes to the skynews channel, pressing backup takes you back to the list and also changes the video back to the headlines which is a bit useless.
