Spotted 1/2 dozen new channels on the EPG last night (Bloomburg, NickJnr, VH1 and 3-4 other music channels) why don't they introduce useful channels like sky 2&3 and the various Discovery channels..

I thought the music channels had been on there quite a while. Agree with you about Sky 2 and Sky 3. I've had to set up a manual weekly recording for Bones and the repeats of Cold Case on Thursday and Friday as these channels are not listed.

Yes, VH1 and VH2 (I think) have been on the EPG since I got my 630H-S early in December. But the third VH1 channel (VH1 Classic) isn't there which is annoying. And it doesn't know anything about BBC2 Wales Digital so its EPG doesn't match up with the BBC2 programmes I get on my Sky box...

While Guide Plus is a great technological achievement, I think it's only half a solution. When it doesn't carry all the FTA listings never mind subscription ones, when it can't take an external box out of standby meaning you have to leave it on all the time and will lose scheduled programmes after a power cut or a software upgrade to the Sky box or you accidentally put your Sky box into standby, when you sometimes have to make the decision between making a recording and getting an EPG update, when you can't re-order your channels (S4C, which is my channel 4 effectively, comes at the very end of the EPG)...it's just not entirely trustworthy, reliable, and convenient. And the advertising block on the left takes up far too much space which means that the EPG listing itself only shows one hour on its timescale, which means lots of scrolling.

If only Guide Plus boxes had an ethernet connection so they could get listings from the internet on demand, that would be a start.
