Oh and ABC does now have an EPG, they show it on ABC2 after regular programming has stoped (after the late night footy match) and it shows whats on ABC and ABC2 as well as info about the music currently playing.

That'll remove the need to change your own skin once in awhile.

They create the images, put everything into a database, and the completely useless EPG is spat out. All broadcast control do it is make sure that the server runs the thing - so they really don't know what they are broadcasting on the EPG... If it were not required by law, bandwith could be utilised to its 'full potential' as governed by Ms Coonan. By ditching the EPG, the so called 'HD service' could be bolstered from 13 Mbps to 15 Mbps, and in turn a dedicated mpg4 stream provided - far superior to that of what is currently broadcast as 'HD' (at just under the bandwith required for an SD channel). At least we can all dream... And on another note - the TEN Network is centralised in Sydney (for those who did not know that), and also doubles as Network TEN Perth's newsroom... scary stuff...

Does anyone find a weird clicking noise in the background of the Channel Nine EPG. It only started since they "sort of" changed their look back in late 2004. It's so annoying.
