I believe the new EPG is a bit more like the Anytime EPG?

no I've not experienced it myself, but going on what others have said, the
new system throws up issues if you can't see it.  and the normal boxes are
staying with the old EPG as far as I know from sky's disabled access team.
if it is easier to use, I stand corrected.

I gather from my internet searches that the normal EPG is going to update to
the newer look one anyway. No?
 
Series stacking is much simpler in the new EPG by all accounts. Have you
experienced that?

 Hi Damon:
 
I was tempted to do the had thing too, for the box if nothing else, though
the change of EPG to a more difficult one would be a concern for me, as I've
got used to the simpler normal sky plus one.
 
if they are giving you the choice now, I may rethink my choices.

I wasn't just having a 'what can I spend my money on' moment when I ordered
Sky + HD yesterday. 

I've got it because you can record up to 185 hours of standard definition TV
on the 500 gig hard drive. And 60 hours of HD programmes. Clearly the
crystal clear picture wasn't going to sway me. A bigger hard disk drive
changes the way you think of sky + because you can just hoover up so much
more telly off the ether without thinking about whether it deserves the
space. And it's an extra 10 pounds per month for a year to get the new box,
working out at 120 pounds. 

The HD boxes have an ethernet port and are ready for the Sky video on Demand
service that was due to start last month. You plug your broadband into it
though it's not clear yet whether you need to have Sky Broadband or whether
any broadband service will suffice. 

Sky isn't associated with Project Canvas, however, so it still may not be
the box you want. Project Canvas should ultimately deliver you a certain
amount of spoken access to the EPG and video on deman.demand when it arrives
this time next year. 

But still no commercially available boxes talk.
