The new Sky+ HD Guide will be rolled out to the company's "most long standing HD customers" first, it has emerged.
38,000 Sky+ HD boxes received the new software during the early hours of Tuesday, March 10. Among the new guide's features are an optional mini-TV screen, "now, next, later" programme info for any programme on any channel for 12 hours, and full integration of recording and series link setup into the main TV Guide screens.
"All Sky+ HD customers will receive the Sky+ HD Guide," the Sky+ HD team confirmed on the DS forums. "However, to ensure the roll-out is as smooth as possible we will continue to do this in managed stages. Following the initial roll-out we will prioritise our most long standing HD customers."
So far, the update has only been deployed to Thomson boxes with version number 4E300E, which are among the oldest and rarest in the Sky+ HD box fleet.
