Why do anything elaborate or fancy for a closedown slide?

Universal TV has now finished and still on the Sky Guide.

Guess they should "TRACE" back to their mistakes, ey?

They’re already playing out the wrong announcements on Sky Comedy.

We're not in Year 4, so let's get back to the mock rather than pointing out each others' incredibly minor errors...

In the most recently-posted picture, the fading squares style is nice, but perhaps you could show how this would look for BBC2, CBBC, etc, as well as how you could display ECPs in this style, and show how it would look for longer show titles than the relatively short one ('The One Show') chosen above.

I am liking seeing this evolve - keep going with it!

There are plenty of gardening programmes around. Home airs (or used to air) Ground Force for a start. Did wonders for garden decking apparently, a "success" that Titchmarsh later regretted.

Trace seem to have resolved the issue of the EPG listings not matching the DOGs, by removing the programme name DOGs from all their channels.

Also, although Christmas Starz reverted back to Starz on the 7th, it continued to show Christmas programming in the EPG for a few days after that, and is currently still using the Christmas Starz graphics.

All websites will "crash" if there's too much traffic to them. Simple as that. All it means they can't serve the requests being asked of them, its what makes DoS attacks effective, except in that case its a deliberate attempt to knock it offline, as opposed to websites are oversubscribed because too many people want to visit them. That effect occurs quite often when there's a major news story like 9/11, and I remember the BBC News and most of the American news sites just couldn't cope with the demand they were facing at that time.

As we are less than 3 full weeks into the current year, "a few months ago" would inherently be last year.
