Hobart Test Day 1 EPG Info is wrong

[gomezz]

Instead of being 03:00 to 12:00 it is 01:30 to 10:30.  As I plan to record it and start chase-playing from breakfast time it would be good to have this corrected before Friday rather than wake up to a failed recording.  Ta.

Hi @gomezz, thanks for posting about this. Not a cricket expert but done a bit of searching around as remember this test had to be moved from Perth to Hobart. The iNews site has the below timing for the series. Would you double-check and if the guide is wrong let me know? I'll go to the BT Sport team to get it corrected if needed.

Cheers John

I believe 4am is the scheduled start of play (source Cricket Australia ) so 3am start for the programme is reasonable.
Note that in the prrvious test the Epg was not updated to reflect earlier start times when rain delays occured.

Note that the 5th test was originally scheduled to be played in Perth but they wanted to keep the same broadcasting hours so when they moved it to Hobart it became a day-night match (remembering Perth is on the other side of Australia).

Hi @gomezz, are you ok that the times in the TV guide are correct?

@zulu17 sorry that the times were not updated for the earlier start times after the rain delays.

Cheers

@JohnC2 If you mean are the times on the BT Youview EPG now showing as correct then yes they are.
