That reminds me of another recent change since Freeview started.

The info button used to allow you to see now and next for all channels
regardless of what channel you were watching.

Now when you are watching a BBC channel the info for non-BBC channels is blank.
When you are watching an ITV channel, the info on non-ITV channels are blank.

This makes it much less useful, as you need to change channels to see what
the other supplier has on offer...and might also give a DVR some grief.

Presumably they now have a split database rather than a shared one!!
