It looks like a new EPG is finally coming to Sky+. According to Digital Spy, a new look guide with extra functionality is expected to launch sometime next year. Features include a new "miniscreen" in the top right hand corner of the guide as well as a complete redesign of the channel and menu structures.
It doesn't seem to be clear if "new boxes" mean newer current models or yet to be introduced versions.
Digital Spy posted:
The new EPG, which will only be available on new Sky+ boxes, will replace the current 4 top-level options (TV Guide, Box Office, Services and Interactive) with 10 options (TV Guide, Planner, Anytime, Box Office, Interactive, Radio, Search, Parental Control, Options and Settings). A 1/8th size mini-TV display in the top right-hand corner of the screen will show video and carry audio from channels as they are selected in the TV Guide. The TV Guide itself will show more channels per page, up from the current 10 to 12 (with mini-TV) or 24 (if mini-TV is turned off). The search and scan banner will show more programme information including when a show started and will permit synopsis information from other shows to be displayed via the 'i' button. Other changes include a better search function covering 7 days of programme data and series links being selected by default when a programme is recorded.
