    HAHA!! yep. I never have to listen to that rubbish. When will they update it so you can watch a channel and view the EPG at the same time? does my head in the way it is.

    Yes, it's planned for the NEW/NEXT EPG but it will depend what boxes support it - nothing has been announced as yet, so no more info I'm afraid - unless some 'in the know employee' wants to come out of the shadows and give us a little info.

    BTW, I didn't mean 'in the know' (who is a poster on here) should tell us - if this makes any sense. It's getting late :sleep:

    i'm still up. Gonna suffer for it but hey i know how you feel anyway. Did something stupid and overwrote a webpage so have to stay up late and redo it. good job I have plenty of lucozade. Anyway I digress The sooner they change it the better. Though I may get Sky+ in a few months so may not be any point getting a new standard box.

    The new music is shite. No other way to put it. It was never Mozart to begin with but now its just odd.

    Its not just music. I heard someone singing (not not a proper song but not far off) with the music like a normal radio station. Then weird funk music again. Makes a nice change for before.

    Yeah, I heard that one as well! It sounds quite bad really, like it shouldn't be there!

    I really like the new music. It's much cooler than all the other stuff they used to play. I swear some of the new stuff sounds like Mogwai.....

    Nice and funky, and a lot better than the old "voices" tune which got almost as excrutiating as the ITV1 ident music.

    Thumbs up from me! :)

    There's one that sounds like The Durutti Column too.
    Mogwai, Durutti Column, I'll soon be switching the cd player off and watching (or listening to) the epg

    I'm guessing the new EPG will have a channel window somewhere on the screen which will eliminate the need for music as it will be using the channel's audio?

    I rather they let us customise the music anyday! Select a radio station to play in the background (i hardly listen to digital radio over my television anyway so why not put the channels to some use)

    OR to make it really customisable, allow us to upload stuff to the website/skybox so we can change sounds and backgrounds :D
