Proper confused me when it first appeared but slowly getting used to it, not sure i like the way the blue button (favourites) now starts at the programme you were watching before the one your on, if that makes sense? always messes me up

I've only just got it... Think it depends on your make of HD box....

Getting used to it and it's a bit more user friendly.

Its not an official channel on Sky.

You cant record from it or do anything other than just watch it

Will it become an official channel on Sky eventually?

I added it manually the other week, but it's a bit of a pain in the arse. I remember for the first couple of years of having Sky Digital, ITV wasn't on there at all, used to have to switch the TV over to analogue to watch ITV!

As for the new layout, I think it's much better. Took a few days to get used to, but that's all.
