The clock appears to have been moved very slightly to the right. When I first turned it on I could only see the minutes, but now the second number of the hour has appeared on my screen.

Well, I thought I'd add my two cents.

Graphics - Pretty good, more clearer than before, and I like the new breaking news sting.

Titles - spectacular, with excellent music by David Lowe. Anyone have a large image for a wallpaper??

Improvements - The clock needs moving, and the set looks dated now.

All in all, good effort, but work still needs doing...

PS: Not sure about the posting saying that News 24 is ARCed to 14:9 on Freeview. I'm watching it in 16:9 from Freeview...


Depends on the box. If it is set for display on a 4:3 set, AND it takes notice of AFDs, then the resulting image will indeed be 14:9 letterbox. Some Freeview boxes (not necessarily the cheapo ones) ignore AFDs and will display 16:9 broadcasts as 16:9 deep letterbox in 4:3 mode.

My box is set for 16:9 on a widescreen set and I'm seeing full width and height anamorphic pictures.

looks well on the national

though not sure about that swirling out at the end of the titles - maybe it'll grow on me with this set, but never did on the previous one. Like the BBC News DOG on the national as itmatches nicely with 24 and world now

As it should. Set the box to feed a 4:3 set, and see whether you get a 14:9 or 16:9 letterboxed image.

How is News 24 coming out of the titles btw? Is it still just a fade to tractor cam or are they having a snazzy animation like BBC1?
