Do Sky Sports have seperate control over their own graphics and logos? The reason I ask is that Sky Sports logos and graphics for cricket, football and rugby nearly always are excellent.


Possibly, but having said that, even they are all over the place these days with 3 generations of astons sets in use!

Yep, I don't watch Sky Sports myself, but I've seen the pres, and there is absolutely no consistency between any of them. Anyway, most sports graphics these days seem to be OTT and generally rubbish. The only good bit of Sky's pres in general is the use of 10CC's Dreadlock Holiday as the cricket theme tune - which in itself has had to make way for some kind of sung imitation of Jamaican music. Eugh...

The same can be said of the BBC - the Cricket Calypso is the only good part of the whole BBC Sport pres package.

Hopefully this new look (if there is one, sorry I haven't been following this thread) will make Sky's graphics look a lot better.

Well there's no mention of 'movies' in the EPG names which seems to be a bit odd.

They must of realised that the names would look stupid if they had added 'movies' or even 'mov' before the name.

How long before this is branded as too confusing? Rolling Eyes

Sorry they aren't the best quality, we all know what YouTube is like for encoding at the lowest bitrates possible. Later I will make the higher quality vids available somewhere.
