As no-one else has mentioned it, I have to say that the new titles for Sportsday were pretty awful. I couldn't have imagined that they could get any worse than the last titles, and yet they have actually managed to make them look even more cheap and irritating.

There's always a fly in the ointment.


EDIT: And some pretty weak new titles for News 24 Tonight there. No pre-headlines sting - just straight into the headlines with the standard bed, and then into a very, very quick flash of an N24 Tonight logo spinning around a small section of the globe.

Disappointing.

That was interesting, just before the opt out from the regions, it seemed to show a loop of the start of the globe with slightly different music, new feature for opt in/out's maybe? It was all very smooth, maybe extended titles designed for the regions.

What is that annoying strip at the bottom of the ticker? That was the first thing I noticed this morning, but I thought it was just my TV until I saw the captures.

Not sure about the News 24 Tonight titles.

It struck me that I haven't seem any presenter name astons on the 3 or so TOTHs I've seen today - are the presenters identified at all at the TOTH?

I've only seen the one today, and that was for Maxine Mawhinney this morning in the second presentation area.

I'm uploading various videos throughout the day on my YouTube account.

Including the 5pm TOTH that shows a presenter's name strap.

It's made me realise just how much I am missing off the bottom of my screen! I've read the book that came with the TV when I got it last year (it's a Bush iDTV) there doesn't seem to be any facility to alter the scanning etc.

Perhaps I ought to be asking this in the Lounge though.

A lot of TVs seem to be burying most geometry settings in its service menu - that's the case with my LG CRT. You might get some luck by Googling your TVs model and "service menu"
