Some New Year changes, please?

Mr+Ripley — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 12:57:31 GMT

I'm hoping a moderator will see this post. Could we possibly have a new header picture on this board, the current one has been there for most of last year and is looking a bit old now.

Also, on the Community Home Page, can the News & Updates section be changed? It is currently showing help for the festive period. Surely everyone is back at work by now?

Thanks.

So I see that a small, new banner has been added to the top of the page, something about Nadine Coyle, & yet the request that I put forward has yet to be dealt with

Moderators, please note the 3 likes on my OP, I'm not the only one who would like to see a change.

@Mr+Ripley

I raised the issue in the Superuser forum yesterday, which resulted in the out-of-date Xmas/New Year customer support times and the last boxing match information being removed.

The placeholder is then automatically populated with another item of content: forum staff don't create these.

I suspect the choice of Hero image (that Brassic background) is also outside their control.

@TimmyBGood Thanks for getting involved. However, the festive customer support times are still showing on the Home Page, at least they are for me.

I've raised that one now.

@Mr+Ripley

Apparently the Home and News pages have to stay with the last created item until a more recent one is created.

So all that's needed is for someone to write something to make them go away😉

How about an announcement about Sky+ box pairing🤔

Here's something they can write about. A couple of days ago I saw in a Google newsfeed that Sky has something new to announce in a couple of weeks, possibly to do with Sky Q. That's something they could do a teaser for on the Home Page.

I'm sure there are lots of things could write about ... to update the page😊

I'm sure a new article will be published once the announcement is made.

It's much more likely a new Sky Glass TV when the media invites say brighter

At this stage Sky Q is 9 years old with satellite distribution in UK & Ireland contract until 2029.

I doubt there is much new/positive stuff to announce on it.

It did only say " possibly ", it was one of those vague articles that makes you click on it & then doesn't really say anything. We shall see.

At this point in its lifespan, the only likely significant announcements for Q would be end of sales and then end of service.

Perhaps someone could write an article about the terrestrial aerial app on Sky Stream to clear the out of date information😉

I see the Home Page has been changed, so that's one down, one to go.

Re: Some New Year changes, please?

Mr+Ripley — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 13:37:31 GMT

Seeing as I asked for the change, I thought I'd look at the new option on the Home Page & see what's coming to Sky TV this year. Turns out it's all on right now, so what's coming from February to December is anybody's guess.

@Mr+Ripley

And not something Sky are likely to announce in the middle of January.

@Daniel0210 You are joking, right? The thread is called " What to watch on Sky in 2025 ", not " ..... January 2025 ". I was expecting to see more than what has been listed.

@Mr+Ripley

Some of the possible additions are likely to be still in post production or the rights to show them are still being negotiated.
