Sky or Me

Just a quick one here nor sure if anyone had the same problem or I done
something wrong, anyway I have my rewind time set at 60mins I got in on
Friday night after work at 7 o clock pm and put the sky + on for record for
the Olympics opening ceremony which started at 6.30 lucky my sky was on
channel 101 bbc one so it taped from the beginning.

Anyway that night I decided ill watch the recorded programme and enjoy the
opening ceremony and all the glory of the touch being lit and all that, but
guess what just as the man was running down to light the torch up pop the
end of the programme please press back to go to menu.

What happened did I set the thing wrong or once again did sky f up again.

Lucky after watching the ceremony I though god I dint really miss much but
as I had started I thought well I will at least watch it through to the end,
any one else have this problem or just me

Judging by the music ending before the torch was raised I'm guessing the
event wasn't timed very well so the Greeks and the Beeb are to blame

yes true I should blame the beeb your right but who sets the EPG knowing
that programmes are going to run late surely the ceremony was destined to
run over should sky or the beeb took this in to account on the EPG settings

dave, I set the recording up before the programme started by highlighting
the whole programme on the timetable and pressing "R". It recorded the
whole
programme and a small bit of the next programme. I was surprised that it
done this as the Olympic programme overran its time and assumed that they
now have introduced a piece of software to do this. I would be interested
if
someone could verify this for me,
Joe

hi joe

maybe doing it a lit in doesnt always work but still nether mind not
everything or everybody is perfect and we encounter this kind of stuff right
through our lives

Its all down to the beeb they transmit they are responsible for transmitting
the contents of their bit of the EPG to sky, and for updates to it.

You cant really assure a live broadcast falling directly into the
programming schedule
