Is the EPG messed up on BBC2?

Just wondering as it says Springwatch from 8-10pm yet the Terry Pratchett programme that's meant to start at 10pm is on now at 9pm...?

Re: Is the EPG messed up on BBC2?

Maybe it's my V+ HD box that's messed up - really odd it says Springwatch would be on for 2 hours... I've noticed that quite a few times where it might say Simpsons is on for an hour or something (not the film). I've just rebooted the box and it still shows Springwatch from 8pm to 10pm...
If I press i it comes up Springwatch 2011 - Springwatch?
On the EPG it shows no programme information until 10pm and also on Channel 4 it says no programme information until 3:30 A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Maybe a fault in the area or with V+ boxes?

Same on the office tv for BBC2 on a V+HD, TiVo is correct. It's too late to change this now, the programme would have finished by the time we uploaded the EPG.

It's just picked up the programmes now for BBC2 and Ch4 but still saying a 2 hour springwatch. I thought I'd be watching a programme about wildlife but instead am hearing about people dying. Good job I'm not a manic depressive or something!!

Re: Is the EPG messed up on BBC2?

Unfortunately Virgin don't have a dynamic epg and like leaves on the track, the rain has caused numerous changes to the BBC's schedule. Even online TV guides and iPhone apps struggled, none of them includig Virgin coped.

With the F1 delays and Andy Murray's triumphant saga crippling the schedule on BBC 1, 2 & HD, Tuesday should be fine though!
