MGM HD and E4 HD are the latest additions to the Sky line-up of high definition channels, both being officially added to the EPG earlier today.
There's a sense of déjà vu however, because once again a new HD channel is blighted by a huge and obnoxious on-screen digital graphic (DOG), or logo, stuck in one corner. Telly Toad readers will remember our reaction to Disney's huge on-screen logo when their HD channel first launched, and thankfully it was eventually toned down (but is still far from ideal). Now MGM is following suit, with a huge, bold “MGM HD” logo stuck on top of all their programming.
Now let's be clear here, the partnership between Sky and MGM is a good one, we can look forward to a 24-hour-a-day schedule of classic movies that have all been remastered for HD broadcast, but not with that huge, obnoxious logo stuck in the corner!
MGM HD's huge on-screen logo blights the launch night's showing of the Pink Panther movies. With any luck, Joanna Lumley will start a campaign to have it removed.
