Sky News presentation - New studio onwards

*thinks better of original post and instead commissions "Literal Sunrise with Jennifer Lawrence"... to be hosted, of course, by me!*

I think I'm right in saying this will be the first election since the creation of "Sky Data" polls. It will be interesting to see how they handle that in pres terms... it would be dangerous (especially at election time) to suggest that a poll of Sky customers is in any way equivalent to the carefully tuned polling of any the larger organisations, but hard to see how they can elegantly make the distinction. Unless they just stay away from using Sky Data for the main voting intention questions, and so avoid having to draw the comparison.

I maybe naively assumed part of the reason of starting Sky Data was because the other polling companies were giving such inaccurate results?

Anyone else see a small but eye-catching occasional graphic break up? I've recorded a crude video clip to illustrate what I'm seeing.

Graphics shimmer

Can't get the video to play, but yes.

Got Sky Q with three boxes on three TV's and they all have occasional glitches on the ticker, especially (all on the HD version).

Only had it for the last week or two.

Anyone else seeing a random flicker on the graphics now and again, where a small section of it will distort? Here's a crude video I took of the effect.


Yea sorry not sure how to embed it properly.

I keep seeing it whenever I watch.

Yes, only on the HD feed. Not noticed it on SD, but that may be down to the fact it's so low res to notice.

Not noticed it myself, could be just picture break-up that sometimes happens on Sky Q boxes as opposed to a graphic issue itself.

I've done a screen shot, but I don't know how to upload it from an Android tablet. Just did it again during an ad break.

I've noticed it too

No, definitely only on the graphics on Sky News.
