After a number of years of looking naff and outdated, Sky have got a new website update it seems.

It certainly looks tidier and nicer.  Their EPG is nice and fresh looking.  Is a tad slow to load, but never mind.

However, it breaks my little EPG trick, and I suspect it's just broken the scraping tool XMLTVNZ uses to generate listings.

hmmmm... my EPG comes from Sky website data (or at least it used to)..............
Anybody know how to grab the EPG from the freeview stream and put it into Microsoft Media Centre friendly format?

their guide seems a bit chunky and slow now, even on my fast PC. Don't like it how the programming info seems quite jammed into the tiny box.

I'm pleased they've finally got a decent search function though, i'll now be able to search properly for programming at last

I imagine i'll get used to it, but for the moment it seems quite 'chunky' and sluggish.

Hey no go at mo with zmltvnz and new sky web tvguide, Reven says on www.reven.co.nz forum that he will be looking into it this weekend. I think the new v3 of xmltvnz will handle the new sky website.
