I'm aware they release different EPGs for different makes of box.
I'm into the HD on Friday ... though now a bit anxious about its
keystroke only accessibility. Hadn't fully occurred to me it'd be wildly
different. Was largely just looking forward to larger storage capacity.
I'll report back.

Hi Damon,
It's not happening for me yet, but if it does, I won't complain.
Menus that don't wrap are much more manageable, if you have no feedbac.
So just hold down the down arrow for a few seconds, and you'll be at the
bottom, then go up. You have the same effect.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Sky + menu change
Hi.
Has anyone else noticed the Sky + menu wrap change or is it just
me?
To get to the Sky+ planner, you hit TV Guide then the green
button and you're on the menu of programmes you've recorded (and that
are waiting to record)
The cursor is at the top of the list but what I tend to do at
this stage is to arrow upwards to get to the bottom of the list where I
can find the programmes I've most recently recorded.
It seems that the new software change, on my box at least, has
stopped you from being able to arrow upwards. You can now only arrow
downwards.
For a blind user who gets no speech feedback, this makes it more
difficult as you could find yourself fighting your way through dozens
and dozens of programmes before you get to the programme you want.
On the slightly good news front, I should add that I've found if
you arrow down and down and down without thinking, when you hit the
bottom you stay at the bottom and so can arrow back upwards to find the
latest programmes. i.e. when you arrow down to the bottom, it doesn't
wrap round to the top again so that at least is helpful and you won't
have to keep a count or a list of programmes you've recorded so you can
keep track. Or something.
