IMO skin should have a little "info" area at the bottom that contains the shows name + EPG description, but maybe that's just me. But i agree that the labels should start at the left edge of the visible area.

Maybe the view should positioned in a way that current EPG is visible and the current time bar is at the right end.

Please make the feature to go back in the epg optional for the user with the ability to turn it off and have it the old way. I have asked about this in another thread because for me it is a useless feature and it breaks usability in several ways. To force the user to go back in the epg in order to see whats on for a specific channel is not user friendly. To provide the information at the bottom is fine, but it is not good enough because you have to move your eyes up and down constantly which means that you loose the overview that the epg provides.
Or I suggest that you look at Mediaportal and how this is implemented there. They provide the possibility to go back in the epg, but the full title is always visible and adjusted to the left.

Today's nightly with the description looks really nice. Too bad it is spoiled by that awful blue line that obfuscates and the most important part of the guide. I hope this will be rethought before the Gotham release.
