EPG info on some Freeview HD stbs seem to work ok but not on all. it'd be interesting to see how the NIMM fairs if I could only get it.
I don't use the relays on IOM as I'm not remotely interested in what happens in NW of England, Manchester, Liverpool etc. IOM should never have been lumped in with that UK region IMO and should have stayed with Border...
