For the Brit awards they have a very nice silver song graphic. Looks very professional. The Hits presentation is brilliant I think.

Professional? The Hits? The presentation of the channel is about as professional as a cows aºse.
Have you seen it lately??
All EMAP channels have pretty good presentation these days!

I do like the new 'minimal' look on The Box, Kiss and Q, Hopefully they will launch it on the rest of the EMAP channels soon.
They should get rid of the onscreen playlist on The Box though as it no longer contains the selection numbers so it serves very little purpose. Perhaps a message saying the numbers are on teletext would be better.
As for The Hits, it's (quite literally) lost it's sparkle.

The sparkle around the song name certainly lent a little glitz. Now it just looks ... dull!

Wasn't it said that Box have dropped their numbers as the phone system is in alphabetical order of the artists or something, I'm not playing 75p or however much it is to find out!
The Box's graphics are nice, and very opaque, as are Q's, the only problem I have is that they both started off clean and lovely and now they're starting add things beneath the dog's so that the actual channel logo is going higher and higher, though I suppose it's better than having something in every corner.
Q looked nice having the logo and then the song, though without the song caption would have been even better.
Then they started to re add the names of the slots (even though they appear on the EPG anyway), and now underneath them they have their changing slogan, which is a bit pointless.
As for the Box, they've added the Brits 25 under their logo, though hopefully this will be temporary.
I wouldn't mind these Brit's style logos added if the channel logo shrunk to combine the two in a nice way, instead of moving the same sized logo higher and plonking another beneath it!

I've just rang the Box to find out how it works now, and the songs are read out to you in alphabetical order and you press 0 when you hear the one you want. You can press # to move forward through the list and * to go back so you don't have to wait forever if you want an artist at the end of the list.
When you make the selection, the number of the track still comes up on the screen, even though there aren't any numbers anymore.

But surely the number selection is quicker & easier, isn't it?
You have a number that can be used via the phone, text in and displayed on teletext.
