Sky Shite News...

[thebazillionaire]

I have a 42in LG tv, the red writing is awful. too bright and blurred, the yellow band ticker tape that has red writing is terrible too. what f***ing idiot thought that was a good colour scheme.

im on Virgin Media, dont know if there is a way to change the ratio on there

Settings > Change Display & Audio Settings > Then move the TV Display Format to Widescreen, squashes it all up shitly but it all fits in the screen.

I'd imagine it something not quite right in the transmission suite (at SKY they do their own....)

They will be down converting the HD signal so it can still be received by people without an HD box or telly.

I've got a HD, and I don't like it for the siimple reason that it was pretty hard to read the scores on the right hand of the screen. They seem to have drastically reduced the amount of letters they use.
Instead of glancing at seeing the score it takes ages to figure which teams they talking about W Ham - Oxf i can figure out but in the champions league there was something like FC S - BAS and HAP - RBS,

is a bit crap, i`ve got hd in my bedroom which is great but my housemate only has small tv downstairs so as you have said you can`t see half of the screen.

I think it is to do with whether you have your view set to widescreen or not on your TV.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Looks fine on my telly. Sky Sports News is not HD on 405, the HD channel is 455

 

[CheeseRolls]

Also no problem here. 42" on Virgin and all text is crystal clear.

Got sky hd downstairs on 37" lg and sd upstairs on 19" cheapo telly, all is ok for me

 

[footychick]

You need to change the settings on your box.
We did and it's fine now.

 

[tonymgc]

Sky news is shit. Don't like the new format at all what was wrong with the old one

 

[The Terminator]

half missing and the writing on the right is tiny

 

[saltash seagull]

we have 2 tv's is fine on one not on the other

 

[footychick]

half missing and the writing on the right is tiny

Not if you have the right settings on your Sky box

I have Virgin Media, and don't have a control for my TV. FFS.
Guess I'll have to fiddle with the buttons on the side to try and get into a display menu.
Although, SSN is the only channel that is f***ed. If I change my ratio to fix it, won't all the other channels f*** up?

 

[murphy's law]

I like it & the new music, can't get it out of my head!

 

[FlownWest]

Virgin Media users - on the guide screen go to 8 - Settings, then 4 - Display and you can tinker with stuff there. The only way I can get it to fit on the screen is by changing it to letterbox format, even though both the tv and box are set to 4:3. Mind you, the TV I'm using at the moment for it really is an awful old piece of junk.

Nice one Sky Sports, introduce a seperate HD channel but make the SD channel unusable for ordinary SD TVs.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Probably not possible, but I have always thought it would be good for SSN to have a red button function that allows you to scroll throught the bars on the right and new stories on the left so you can see what you want.

Probably silly idea though, and SSN HD works fine here

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

I don't have a widescreen TV so the column on the right is chopped off. But the info in that column has always been rubbish so I'm pleased that the main frame is bigger than before.

 

[thebazillionaire]

Mine only cuts off a little on the left when the vidi printer live score bit at the bottom is on, instead of displaying GOAL i get AL, can i change to setting on my sky box to something that fits it all in and even so, btw, the colour scheme o some of the lettering is SHIT UTTER SHIT
