[QUOTE="chris, post: 879902, member: 1"] Sky+HD is being updated in the biggest change to Sky’s EPG since 1998. Once the change is implemented a few changes will be noticed on the layout of the home screen. This is because BskyB have decided to completely change things and want their new EPG to really focus on [URL='http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/best-catchup-system.159055/']Catch-up TV[/URL]. There has been a huge increase in the demand for [URL='http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/best-catchup-system.159055/']Catch-up TV[/URL] and this new introduction from sky certainly makes it easier to find the on-demand content that customers want. The changes will not be rolled out to everyone just yet, but gradually over the next few months it will be introduced. This means that the on-demand services such as Sky Store and Sky+ Planner will now be alongside the usual channels, making things look smoother and simpler. For those people who have already seen the change they will notice that the new homepage has a new search box which gives viewers the chance to really search for what they want based on actors, channels and certain keywords. It has never been so easy to find what you want. The home screen will now consist of [URL='http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/best-catchup-system.159055/']Catch-Up TV[/URL], Box Sets, New Series, Best of On Demand and the Sky Store.

This change does not need to worry those who are not keen on change as the whole interface still feels like Sky+ and that can only be a good thing. One feature that jumps out at you is the “New Series” menu that is visible on the homepage.
