if any1 saw txt request earlier today, you would have seen the dodgyest cockup of MTVs graphics for ages.
heres a few things that i noticed:
+ Dog kept sliding in and then dissapearing
+ the word 'high' was static in the bottom left corner all thru the ads
+ the yellow bar kept flashing on and off
+ the system kept cutting out with green flickers
+ the txts where spreading accross the whole screen, and had huge gaps in them

twas mad! Very Happy

For the last 2 or 3 years MTV have been using irritating DOGs on most of their channels, in the old days it was just the classic MTV Logo in the top right hand corner, then they started putting the program name in the other corner of the screen, which is so irritating, this is on all the MTV Channels and what is the point as the Sky Guide or the NTL one tells u what the program name is anyway, they never used to do this before and then we didn't have the guide, it is really irritating there is so much text on screen and at the moment on MTV they have a massive oversized DOG previewing the Europe Music Awards, and of course they have the URL for their website now in the top left!

MTV could do with a VH1-style revamp, which IMHO looks excellent now - really clean and uncluttered! Even the programme DOG is almost bearable, but I could probably live without it though. Surely MTV is up for the revamp soon, how many has VH1 had since MTV last was?

A dodgy Interactive service too if you ask me!
