[QUOTE="easysat, post: 13781, member: 175305"] The biggest pain in the neck with a FTV card on Sky, is the EPG including every channel whether it is available or not. If the EPG only included the channels that can be viewed, finding the channel you want would be a lot simpler and quicker. I suppose Sky think that getting all those "call Sky to upgrade your subscription to include this channel (... showing exciting, old repeats from BBC and ITV)" messages actually helps sell subscriptions. Personally I think a better way would be to include some sort of mosaic channel to entice viewers to sample what is available on channels not included in their subscriptions. If you clicked on one of the little images in the mosaic, it could bring up the how-to-subscribe-message. This would only need one or two channel numbers in the EPG, so I could probably live with it.
