Right, that's all the videos I have now on YouTube (via that post). I'm will be capturing the other channels later (they're all on movies at the moment). Obviously, I won't be able to capture Sky Movies Premiere until 4pm.

Not too keen on them myself.

I don't know why but they remind me of the old ITV Nighttime idents.

I also think the "fruit machine" style logo is a bit weak.

hmm...i like these. the logo definitely looks better in this context, and i like the way it moves from 'movies' to the channel name. they are all slightly different, but they still all feel the same. could work out well for them.

I like the visuals. Nice, simple concept. I think the audio totally lets them down though. They only good audio is from the Modern Greats ident.

The Classics ident reminds me very much of this Channel 4 ident which they used before movies...

I'm certainly surprised (as someone else mentioned earlier) at the EPG listings. They have always been very keen to mention "Movies" or at least "Mov" in the past. I also notice that "Action & Thriller" hasn't been abbreviated to "Act/Thrill".

Stuart, if you don't mind me asking, why stretch the EPG out to 16:9 when it's 4:3?

A agree about the names, do look a little weird without the mention of Movies, but then the idents do the same, changing from Sky Movies to Sky Family for example. The only one that really doesn't make sense is 'Sky Modern', because if one doesn't know it's short for Modern Greats, then Modern could mean anything.

Actually my TV does that automatically depending on the format of the channel I'm watching prior to pressing TV Guide. As most channels I watch are now 16:9 that's the way I see the EPG. It looks more odd to me to see it in 4:3 when switching from a UKTV channel now. It does the same with the S&S Banner.

As for the names, I agree now after watching the postings you kindly put on YouTube (I couldn't see them properly at work today as the graphics card in my pooter is abit slow there!) that the EPG makes sense. Laughing
