When 4 HD opts out during Hollyoaks and the news, the DOG disappears for some reason.

I assume they switch to a More4 HD stream - the middle breaks have More4 breakbumpers.

BTW, does LEXI actually stand for anything?

LEXI, short for Lexicon Decoder, uses colour-coded graphics to show the type and level of impairment within sporting classes, green for no impairment up to red for a severe impairment.

The person who created it has been on daily to give analysis.

Looks like we might have to wait a bit for The Last Leg tonight! The EPG hasn't been updated yet.

Not for the first time. The drama from tonight deserved to rate well, so hope it has.

Rob Walker is quite good at this commentating lark.

They've been poor at updating the EPG on 4HD at least. Otherwise though superb coverage throughout the day - I've had it on most of the weekend and my only real complaint is the seemignly overly frequent breaks. I've very few issues with the bits between the breaks, though as others have said a bit more action and a bit less chat would be nice.

The Last Leg is now on, 20 minutes later than billed. Make sure to extend your recordings.

I preferred him on Catchphrase.

I think you'll find that it's his brother Roy who presents that.

I liked how he kept up his shouting voice whilst the shot was on the royalty calmly looking on in the crowd. Such an odd match of visual and audio Laughing
