How many days epg do you get Chris?

Channel 4 migrated transponders last week and are now FTA.
I believe the BBC's aim was to mimic the Freeview red button stuff rather than Sky, however a certain similarity is inevitable across all platforms as the Beeb likes to brand them all the same, as 'BBCi'.

The EPG has eight days (today plus a complete week ahead).

C4 has been FTA since just before Freesat's formal launch in May and has been part of the Freesat line up from day one. However this was on a different transponder to the one Sky boxes are tuned. They have been broadcasting a parallel service ever since. If C4 has now gone FTA on Sky boxes, that means they have completed the migration process.

Actually I set it all up on Friday evening - thought that was obvious from the photos.
