Bt tv schedule

[MartinJSUK]

I've just looked at this weekend's recordings, and five things I had set to record (F1 Qualifying, F1 Race, Manchester United versus Chelsea tonight, Bournemouth v Newcastle tomorrow and the Sun 6pm NFL game on Sky Sports NFL) have all dropped out of my Scheduled Recordings list. Had I not checked I would have missed seeing all of these. Please check your planners to avoid the same issue.

I notice that Arsenal are playing Monaco in the Champions League next Wednesday night on TNT Sports 1, and at the same time they are playing Olympiacos on TNT Sports Ultimate.

On a more positive note I recorded the Fulham v Brentford match on Sky Sports last Saturday night and it was successful, although the programme itself cut off before it had finished, I got the whole match. This seems to happen when I record from Sky Sports and necessitates recording the programme which follows when recording MNF in order to avoid being cut off before the end when it inevitably overruns. 

On an even more positive note, I recorded the Europa League highlights programme this lunchtime  on TNT Sports. Despite the programme not starting until 12:08, I got the whole programme from the beginning and the recording didn’t finish until 13:02 which meant that I didn’t get cut off either. This suggests that EETV has much more control over TNT Sports broadcasts than it does over those of Sky Sports.

On a far less (although totally predictable) note the EPG is still showing Hoffenheim v Frankfurt on Saturday evening whereas it is Monchengladbach who are hosting Frankfurt.

So even the day before anyone who sets the match to be recorded will get sweet FA which is about all a NOW/SKY Sports contract with BT is worth.

No doubt the apologists will be on here soon saying BT are working hard at resolving the problem.

Another problem I noticed too late - West Brom v Leicester tonight is in the EPG as starting at 7.30, but it actually started at 7, meaning I've missed half the buildup. Not a disaster but still annoying.

Well other listing/EPGs seem to have accurate data but  not EETV  EPG. They really need to look at their processes.

One thing you can do depending upon what devices you have is to watch it on NOW app where they enable  pause and rewind  of current live programming

Not sure if I can get the Now app through my (ancient, non-Smart) TV, though at a push I can get it through my computer on a smaller screen.

Anyway, Sky Sports Main Event is showing Hungarian Grand Prix Qualifying next Saturday, from the well-known Hungarian city of Singapore. Sky Sports F1 correctly calls it the Singapore Grand Prix Qualifying, but the title doesn't say 'Live' so I'm sure that will also drop out of the Scheduled Recordings list before next weekend. Sigh.

[MartinJSUK]

The Singapore Grand Prix qualifying is right now, but the race itself on Sunday is in the system as the 'Chinese grand prix' and is refusing to record. And tonight we have five and a half hours of 'bitesize highlights' of the 49ers against the Rams. Another recording that will almost certainly fail unless I stay up until midnight to start it. This has been going on far too long.

My recording of Match Officials Mic’d Up on TNT Sports didn’t record on Tuesday evening. The EPG remained stuck on Premier League  Netbusters and didn’t change onto the correct programme until after the Chelsea match programme had started. Anyone who had set the Chelsea match to record may well have come home to another failed recording. My programme did not register as a failed recording, it simply remained in my planner. I set up the next showing of the programme to record on Sky Sports later that evening. It is repeated multiple times on both TNT and Sky, but I noticed that the series record option was only available on some showings and not others.

The British Premiership speedway Grand Final 1st leg tonight between Leicester and Ipswich on TNT Sports 1 is listed as British Speedway highlights  19:30-22:00 on the EPG.  The Discovery+ app has the correct details in upcoming live sport.

@Brucemeister5  My observation was that TNT Sport 1 & TNT Sport 2 schedules last night were incorrect in EETV EPGs. Several programmes were broadcast on the other  channel  (UFC/MLB) and some at different times (MLB)  . Other EPGs and listing sites seemed to have more accurate upto date schedules .
