Agreed.

Other than the opening titles, which are fine for now, it's great! The set is very impressive, musics good, overall brilliant!!


I imagine they will change the titles from time to time.

i can't see why people are getting their underpants in a twist over the titles - with the previous 'look' sky news must have been through at least 3 or 4 different versions of their titles.

i'm sure when it starts to look drab it wll be updated.

That would hurt. But yes, I'd imagine (and hope) there would be different titles for WNT and others...

From the WNT promo, I would think maybe some different music aswell, so maybe titles will be different. Laughing

Hate the animation wipe effect on the straps, it's incredibly irritating. I think the Sky News DOG and clock should be top left. I still don't understand Sky's insistence on 14L12 commercials on 16F16 channels.


Apparently it is so that they only have to cache one copy of the commercial. If they showed 16F16 ads on their 16:9 channels they'd either have to store two copies (requiring more storage and more time to load) or they'd have to put ARCs into all the 4:3 channel transmission areas. At the moment they aren't prepared to do either, hence adverts and promos are 4:3 on all Sky 16:9 channels.

I notice, on Freeview, that the switching between 4:3 and 16:9 is far from slick.


In the scheme of things ARCs are hardly expensive bits of kit... in fact I noticed in work yesterday about 20 of them which are now surplus to requirements as most stuff now originates in 16F16.


Sure - but rebuilding every single 4:3 channel playout area to cope with 16:9 to 4:3 ARCing is still not trivial or cheap. The ARCs themselves may not be that expensive - but all the other changes required for working in mixed aspect ratios are not cheap. Showing adverts 14L12 is ... Bottom line is ... the bottom line.
