How is the Sky+HD Guide different?
With an all new look, the Sky+HD Guide offers new features to make it even easier to find, watch and record the programmes you love across our wide range of content, including 32 HD channels.

The Sky+HD Guide is in high definition and displays all your options on a single screen. Other features of the new Guide include:
  • • New Mini TV means you can now browse and watch TV at the same time. So you’ll never have to miss a minute of your favourite show again.
  • • Improved Now Next and Later banner now lets you read a programme synopsis for any programme across any channel up to 12 hours ahead without interrupting your viewing.
  • • Improved record and series link makes it even easier for you to record and series link straight from the TV listings without having to go back to your Planner.
  • • New Series Stack feature neatly files all the episodes of the same series in one place within your Planner, by grouping them under the series name. Making it even easier to find and manage your recordings.
  • • Improved Search feature makes it even easier to discover more of the programmes you love
  • • New coloured Shortcut Buttons have also been added for quicker and even easier navigation.
Why aren’t we all getting the Sky+HD Guide at the same time?
All Sky+HD customers will receive the Sky+HD Guide over the next few months. The roll-out will be phased to ensure that there are no disruptions to your HD experience. The first group to receive the Sky+HD Guide will be made up of some of our customers with Thomson Sky+HD boxes.

What will I need to do to get started?
You don’t need to do anything. We’ll be automatically uploading the new Sky+HD Guide to your current Sky+HD box. Your recordings and settings will be saved and you can continue to use your existing remote control. As with all of our products, we’ve designed the Guide so that it’s easy to use, it won’t take long for you to familiarise yourself with the new Sky+HD Guide.

If you have any further questions you can find additional information and details of all the new features by visiting: Sky+HD Guide

Enjoy exploring your new Sky+ HD Guide

Thanks

Totally agree with that.

If you read the article you can now get information on anything (from the banner) up to 12hrs of where you are.

(As opposed to having to load up the main channel guide and going sideways :o)
 
Just noticed its nearly 2 months old is the article Is there any updates to this? Has anything being changed?
 
Apparently you have the choice of showing the video preview or not. without you get to see more channels.

Biggest plus for me with the new guide is the search, you can perform search's for the full month or so I believe now insted of just a few days at the moment.
 
The next thing they need to do is as you're using the Banner and you press i - it shows you the information on the program you've scanned to, and NOT the program you're watching!!

it does with the update according to sources. it is awesome ;)
 
Stick the picture on the left instead of the right and its the Samsung TV EPG. Good move though as I cant fault that one particularly the now/next option rather than fullguide.
 
I wonder if you'll finally be able to fast forward/rewind correctly - ie, at all speeds and without jumping many minutes in one go. That problem has been present since day one!

Tell me about it. They should have implemented this feature a long long time ago.
 
ive moved from standard Virgin media box to a skwy hd box and the vm box impressed me more, especially with being able to search other progs whilst watching tv by typing the number in instead of going up or down one page at a time. also a better compression of hd recordings would be good, 12% for 1 film is way too much.
 
Looks SO american. I would be more specific but I cant remember the cable provider I had whilst living abraod a few years ago. It is a nice and refreshing change.
