Now to find fault
The top of each entry on my MyTV Recordings and Schedules entries is slightly truncated, on my Nexus 7 Android 6 as here:-

Cheers.
i don’t recall ever setting this, and indeed, I didn’t even know there was a font setting, and had to figure out where to find it - under Display, logically enough.
All fine, as you predicted, on Normal.
There is the most imperceptible trimming on Large, just slicing off the top half of capitals and a little of the risers on those lower case letters that have them, on each top line.
Small is fine, except I can’t see it very well
As a bonus, the EPG looks a lot better in Normal, or Large, than in Huge
My Moto G has the same settings here as the Nexus, but my Galaxy Young offers Tiny as well, and also a choice of fonts, which the other two don’t.
I’ll unleash these on the YouView app when I get a moment
On a 4.4.2 tablet it didn't do this. It instead told me that the software on my YouView box would need to be updated to get the functionality.
Obviously I reconnected anyway but as I now had two devices with the same name I decided to delete the old one on the YouView box. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing which is which (a rename facility would be nice but a date would do) and I guessed wrong. Instead of failing gracefully the app threw up an ugly error.
Pleased to have this functionality. It is a game changer in some ways but something isn't quite right on older versions of Android when it comes to knowing it is connected.
Quick repairing and all's well and functioning good.
Credit where it's due... Cheers
On the guide, you only get to see programmes with the red record circle which you've set via the device. You have to go back to the my tv tabs to see if you've set anything from the box itself.
Surely it would be a good idea to handshake the guide on both the box and the device guide?
Looks like the Android version stole a march on it.... Though wait, newly booked stuff on both brings up the record symbol.
Looks like, besides not showing stuff booked elsewhere, it doesn’t show stuff booked on the app prior to this version
Did a new install on a 5.1 tablet and it connected first time.
I have a Pixel XL phone running Android Oreo 8.0.0 and everything is working fine, however, I also have Nexus 9 tablet running Android Noughat 7.1.1 and on that there is strange behaviour: on the main screen if it is set to Sunday 8th Oct, then I tap on a channel logo to see that channels listings, say BBC ONE, the day is still Sunday 8th Oct which is great, however when I hit the back button to go back to the main screen with all channels the day changes to Sat 7th Oct, if you repeat the steps again the day will be on Fri 6th Oct. I've tried clearing the data, clearing the cache, uninstalling it then reinstalling it but the behaviour is still exhibited. In the older version the day sometimes changed randomly, which was slightly annoying, but this is a degree worse
A general point is that when you open the app would it not be best to open on todays day every time rather another day - sometimes it seems random what day it will open on
