I'm not one to complain when companies change things around or make improvements to their products; but this new TV guide is so annoying! I can't read any of it without my glasses on (ha, sound like such an old man!) where as before I could read it just fine. And, what's going on with pressing the blue button for your favourite channels? It seems to start at the wrong channel meaning you have to scroll through the lot for some reason - I don't quite get it  .

My parent's Sky HD has the new software, I didnt have a proper play around with it but I wasnt too keen on the new layout  Nothing wrong with the old one if you ask me, maybe a new colour scheme to update it would have been good but I had no complaints with it/

Parents updated, but it fried the HD on the Pioneer TV so we need to get them out to fix it
So no HD DVD's or Sky due to their fucking stupid update

Still waiting for the update here.
The readability problems are because it's now in HD and taking advatage of the full resolution.
I like having as much on screen as possible as I can read it fine but i'm just waiting for the complaints from the rents who sit quite a distance from the TV and don't have the best eyesight anymore (hopefully it'll annoy them that much that i'll steal the hd box for my bedroom).
It was well due an upgrade imo, although the old one serves it's purpose well there were improvements to be made.

I think I might be tight and get rid of HD. Or, buy a really big TV so I can read the ting writing

About time ITV hd arrived, I think the new layout looks nice. I watched the tutorial thing on it on anytime last night, looks simple enough.

It's just fluke that you can tune into ITV HD, they refuse to do a deal with Sky to get it added to the EPG.
I'm getting used to the new TV guide now, was a bit annoying at first, the mini TV is fucking irritating and even if you switch it off, the sound is still there!?!
When you use the blue button now (favourites), it starts from the last channel you were watching, which is why it might seem to go backwards.
