Why does Sky keep repeating that the HD channel is now on 501? Surely that's obvious if you're watching it on an HD box.

Presumably some people are still watching channel 517 not realising that it's no longer the HD channel.

Did HD & SD not swap for HD subscribers this week? If it did, its now pointless showing it.

It did. Which is why the channel is trying to now retrain the people that memorise 517 to go back to 501. Out of habit I keep pressing 517 by mistake.

Noticed just now the weather time and day was much smaller than normal and pushed right into the corner of the screen

What's with the pointless "FRONT PAGES skynews.com" graphic obscuring the picture on the Press Preview? (SD)

They've just shown the front pages a mere few minutes ago!

The Monday press preview is my only regular appointment with Sky News now, but I won't bother much longer if they keep bombarding me with adverts for the website and HD channel.

During Boulton & Co we saw a shot of Sky News centre with the newswall switched off, Did anyone capture it?

Still can't get my capture device to work but will upload those clips from last week when I do Smile

Two weeks or so now, and still not fixed?

It is so upsetting if you switch to sky news and Matt Smith is presenting sky news at ten. Why Matt Smith why?
Paula Middlehurst or Samantha Simmonds would be a better choice when Stephen Dixon is absent.

Sky news Intl has a new breakfiller which is better than before. News Sports Business Finance and Showbiz are now separated. Furthermore this breakfiller includes videos instead of pictures and a nice orchestra music during the weather wrap!
