Recently? ntl and Telewest have been doing it since the first time they went to digital broadcsting and the mini-screen isn't 1/4, rather only being 1/16 which doesn't clutter the screen much, it's something that Sky folk have been wanting for a long time so nice to see it implemented in a mock.

Don't get me wrong. It'd look good on higher resolution systems (HDTV etc) but I don't think it's really suited to the low resolution analogue systems we have now.

It looks lovely though... these mocks are brilliant.

I bloody love those, and I always wanted to make my own Sy Guide mocks, but the quality on my Paint Shop Pro is awful, and all I have left is PowerPoint. Can somebody give me some advice, as i REALLY want to do this.

Australia has just implemented Digital Pay tv and they have 'borrowed" the Sky system - remotes, layout, EPG the lot..

The Mock EPG looks good, but I don't think it's very functional. The space for Listings has been dramaticall reduced meaning you'll have to scroll through lot's more pages to get what you want.

The colours are good and I like the idea of the video screen showing what you were just watching, but there needs to be more room for listings.

I have just realised where you got the idea for these EPG mocks.

Anyone with a Goodmans GDB3, press guide and compare.

Actually, I got the idea for these from Voom in the USA - so there!
