You also have to have bloody good eyesight in order to see the league tables on the right hand side of the screen, I cant work out if we are 18th or 19th.  Why change a winning formula?

I also wouldnt call Charlotte a dog either, if she came out of Shamrock Linnen.....

I think they need to realise that not everybody has 60 inch televisions. I could barely read the score flashes coming in at the bottom. Can they not make these bigger and the picture of the presenter smaller? I am not really bothered about seeing him.

i take it those that can't see it properly are in standard definition?

all i can say is your TV's must have fucking poor standard definiteion quality.

my old 28" CRT in the back room see's it perfectly and thats 10 years old!!!

My tv must be a similar size and age and I really struggled to see the scores coming in. What is CRT anyhow? Guessing this isn't widescreen which mine is.

CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) = old school telly. You can have a CRT widescreen.

I have to admit I only watch it in HD on a 48" tv and the quality is fucking excellent and very easy and clear to read.

I'd hope it is on that size TV - if it wasn't you'd have a problem

Agreed. Although I am tempted to get myself a massive TV now we have a PS3 in the apartment.

It's got nothing to do with definition, the writing's just smaller. I could see it fine as it was before, then, like everything, they had to fuck around with something when there was nothing wrong with it.

Sounds like they've fucked up the SD version to me. Firstly by making it 100% widescreen and removing the 4:3 safe zone leaving some 4:3 TV viewers  not being able to see the edge, and secondly shrinking the font size.

For the first one, If you have a 4:3 TV  I guess you can always set the Sky box output to 4:3 letterbox, as 4:3ps (pan and scan) will chop the edges off. Going to get black bars' though.

For the second one, erm, get closer to the TV.

Switched my picture settings on the sky box to 16:9 and can now see the whole picture on my 28" set but difficult to read the league tables bit. I think the Top Story bit is pointless.
