I have discovered that the Sky EPG is 24 hours behind the actual broadcasts of
BBC World.
eg The Sky EPG showed that "Life on the Edge - Silk Ceiling Part 2" was
scheduled at 12:30am on Tues 8th Dec. I hope you didn't try to record it as
it actually went to air at 12:30 am on Mon 7th Dec.
I don't know how long this situation has existed but it seems only the last
few days. Unfortunatly the error occured about the same time Hads slipped
the recent changes into the xmltv system he maintains and to my shame I
started pointing my finger in his direction.
The Guide on the Sky website is also 24 hours behind as are other websites
such as the Yahoo!xtra tv guide. SO it seems that in this part of the world
several guide publishers rely on the Sky data.
This morning I rang Sky Customer service who are looking into it by sending
an email to someone so hopefully all you BBC junkies out there will be able
to record your correct programs again sometime soon.
In the meantime this url will get you the correct guide data for BBC World.

This is a long url and may fold in some email clients.
