Cable TV mocks

OK I came upon this idea over the weekend.

With the talk of merger between TW and NTL starting again, I had a " what if... ".

Setting: Feb. 2005.

They are very rough at the moment but should I continue or just scrap them?

I'd carry on, these look very good so far.

Please carry them on..

Ok, here's what i've got so far.

Switch announcment during Sci-Fi channel's airing of "Mystery Science theater 3000".
Fans of the show called in to complain for obvious reasons.

The temp. software update.

I'm stil working on these but well, that's what i've got so far.

any ideas on how I can improve them?

the programme guide is to big

if you mean the size of the text then, yeah i've probobly made that too big but the box is the same size as the one used at the moment on telewest.

well both are too big text and box, i would like to see a compact box for easier viewing.
it looks bigger than the current telewest programme guide apart from that they are relly good

greg

it looks bigger but, it isn't. it's just the yellow that makes it look bigger.

how about this, A mini-guide.

How about it having icons on it as well..

what font did you use for the logo and the other text ?

well the logo is a real logo.
United Artists was a cable company that was taken over by Telewest, and i thought that the name sounds good so, i used it. link to logo-> click

I much prefer the Name "United Artists" to "Telewest" anyway.

i also plan to add little symbols. to the banners

i wanted to see what the programme guide would look like at the top with a sample channel of 890 - united artists tv

with the channel
