Also Jeff Randall now opening with Orchestral Mix of the 2005 Bed 1. Fits far better with the titles than the coming up bed!

Live at five with Jeremy
I thought the first days coverage was really excellent. It was maybe a bit fast paced with not much time to spend with guests but hopefully that's what Adam Boulton's show will do. I thought that the reporters were top class and the graphics seem to be sky's trump card. Overall I thought their coverage was far superior to the bbc on all accounts. It's still early days but a good start is half the battle and HD is still to come.

Well worth updating the Sky News app if you have it on your iPhone/Pod Touch. Now includes and new election section and a very impressive live stream of Sky News TV.

No sign of any specific titles etc. for The Boulton Factor. Studio in Westminster looks nice though.

I was just about to ask if it was in Westminster. Is it the same studio they used to (or may still, iv never seen the show in full) use for PMQ's?

Does anyone have any pics of it?

The live stream is extremely clear, and only about 20 seconds behind broadcast (WiFi)

Well done Sky, great update.

Yup, it's the same as the PMQs studio. It's frequently used as a down-the-line camera position too - you'll probably recognise the blue and white bars background.

Gotta have respect for Adam Boulton, a very long day for him today, standing outside Downing St all day, then back to the Studio for ^^^.

Must be exhausted! And it's gonna be a long few weeks for him I think.

Problem on Sky tonight at about 3am - the 'Breaking News' ticker has come on, but the background remained black, meaning the text was unreadable. After a few minutes they overlapped the usual ticker text on top, then fixed it to the usual gold bar.
