    • +/- 24 hours is more accessible (ch up/down is more difficult to explain to my wife)
    • The boquet "tabs" on the top. It clearly shows there is more than the current boquet available (and there's a "hint" to use the <> keys to navigate between boquets)


    I very very rarely use the short-cut coloured buttons (blue/red/yellow/green) in the OpenVix skins whereas I regularly use them when using the Sky Skin.

    I've attached 2 screen shots for comparison.

    divil_a_bit can I ask which skin or settings you use to see the bouquet tabs and +/- 24 hours, I've installed the Blue HD skin from the plugin downloads but my EPG looks like your 2nd screenshot. I'm trying to make life as easy as possible for the missus in moving away from Sly.
    Thanks

    If it were just me using the box then I'd happily ditch anything Sly related but after using their box for 10+ years the missus has grown quite attached to it's simplicity and isn't known for her patience when dealing with new tech

    Another plus for this skin: "Add Timer" and "Add Autotimer" are replaced with "Record" and "Record Series" also.
