BSkyB overhauls EPG

UK satcaster BSkyB has revamped its on-screen TV guide in what the firm says is “the most significant shake-up” to its EPG since its introduction over 15 years ago.

Changes to the lay-out will see on-demand functions including catch-up TV and Sky Store sitting alongside channel listings on a single screen, while a recommendations section will be based on Sky+ Planner recordings and downloads.

The update will be available to all subscribers with Sky+HD boxes by the end of May, with the Sky+ mobile app also being refreshed to mirror the changes.
