If what Fran's been told is right, it just strikes me as the whole thing was a half-assed waste of everybody's time. Who on earth do they think is going to be excited by the prospect of a unit that will tell them the title of the next programme!
Sitting here shaking head in disbelief, and holding on to the hope that the Sky rep has got this badly wrong.

Sounds like they've developed something that no one will want to buy. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barry Hill Sent: 15 April 2010 16:11 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: bad news re the sky talker Is it only the next programme? If it could say what the current programme is too, that would have been useful. Otherwise, you're right, waste of time.

Apparently the sky talker is not ready to launch yet, and even when it does there will not be an EPG. According to the person whom I spoke with it will only tell what the next programme coming up is. Personally that seems a waste of time and research to me. Very disappointing.
