Programme guides show scheduled slots, while a live event can run longer than planned. That can make the next listed programme appear to overlap the event or make a replay boundary less convenient. The guide and the live picture are related but not identical records. When reporting a mismatch, state whether the broadcast itself changed, the listing is wrong or a replay begins or ends at the wrong point.
Why it matters
A guide is a planned schedule while a live event can continue beyond its slot. The actual broadcast may therefore differ from the new label. That matters for reminders, programme recordings and replay windows that follow scheduled boundaries rather than the real finish of the match, session or extended event coverage.
Work through the steps
- Compare the live picture with the scheduled listing and note whether the event has actually continued beyond its expected programme boundary.
- Inspect other ordinary guide entries before changing time settings, so a live overrun is not mistaken for an account-wide clock or offset problem.
- If a replay boundary is affected, report the channel and actual event timing to support with a concise description of what the replay omits or includes.
What to avoid
A changed guide label does not establish the event ended. Do not assume the original slot guarantees replay coverage after an overrun, or that programme-based controls automatically include every later segment of a changed broadcast.
The useful takeaway
Compare actual coverage with the guide and note the overrun. Give event and real timing for replay or recording questions rather than relying solely on the original scheduled boundaries displayed earlier.
