New Look for RTE News Now.

It looks better but I would have hoped for them to get rid of that bar on the right hand side of the screen

If bar was gone how would you know at a glance if your euros were still worth anything?

The only difference in content is the "Latest Sport" caption bottom right. Nothing to have an RTE love-in about just yet.

Why do they not give a full screen video, and allow all the other stuff to be added by MHEG5?

I do not need a side-bar giving stock market and currency figures, nor do I want a ticker-tape at the bottom of the screen giving me 'entertainment' news about Zlist 'celebs'.

Nor di I want burn marks on my screen.

If someone needs to know about that then can they not use Aertel? I just feel that there is too much clutter on the screen.

I like it as it is. I feel most would not press another button to get the extra info as you suggest. I’ve used Sky News Active twice in about 5 years.

The layout makes it look more like a fancy playout system (which is what it essentially is) as opposed to a full, live, news service.

Watch it on your PC, lose the bar & ticker, while your commenting on Boards:

The same would apply to a full screen.

They have increased the video panel, but it could go more by losing the boader top and bottom, and narrowing the side bar to retain aspect ratio. The new look is an improvement, no doubt about it, but go a bit further lads.:)

I must say i like the new lay out. I hope they add a bit more original news content to fill the schedule and maybe make the banner at the side a little bit more narrow which would increase the size of the picture.

Interesting, Euronews is on now, was that on before? I don't recall it, it's a nice addition.

Maybe this happened a few days ago, but I only noticed it this morning, RTE News Now has had new lick of paint again. Tabs being used at the bottom for the rolling news, colour weather maps etc down right side. Nothing spectacular, but an improvement I would say.

No, you're right, it's new. Was in the old style yesterday. Weather charts seem a bit small to me though. Hard to read the temperatures and especially the windspeed numbers.

Someone in RTÉ really likes Sky Sports News. Regardless of this, we don't drag up old threads.
