I agree - there have been several tactical errors in the rollout of digital TV in the UK, starting with DVB-T/T2 for SD/HD services, requiring early adopters to change hardware. More recently, the migration off SD transponders on satellite (e.g. to HD-only services on ITV and BBC) is leaving some viewers with a requirement to change receivers again. I'm just wondering whether this EPG overhaul will actually happen? Our (OpenVix) users are probably best positioned to be able to use the new EPG, though
