Titles no visible on web EPG for very long shows

[JP23]

Minor bug report / feature request.

I've noticed that for very long shows, there will be no title showing at all on the web EPG as the title is aligned to the left, and the start of the show is off the screen.

Is it because it is a long show or because the show starts before before 14:00? You should be able to scroll back in time.

It's a show that lasts 8 hours or something (Wimbledon coverage).
Yes, I can scroll way back to the title, but the title for the BBC2 show is showing between 1100 and 1130.

I'm not asking for any help or advice here, I just think it would be nice if the UI was set up so that the show title is always visible.

If you look carefully at the guide, it pretty ugly even for shorter titles, but it might look worse if sub left-justified and truncated them.

When I implemented this in v5, I looked at a few TV guide web apps, such as Freeview UK & NZ, Sky TV, TV One etc. They all did the same thing, with the show title being at the very left of when the show started (or the beginning of the day if it started in the previous day), and sometimes with longer shows, this just meant the show name wasn't visible without scrolling to earlier in the day.
