EPG Data quality - July 2026

Seem that there are a few recurring/returning issues with the quality of the EPG data being supplied for the Now Sky Sports channels.  The most noticeable issues involve their live Cricket programming data and the Rugby Super League.

Issues with the cricket -- involve the title of the  -- eg  Sky Sports Main Event - (6:30pm)  showing as Live:Womens ICC T20 Cricket : Notts Outlaws v Lancashire Lightning   (should be Live T20 B-last).. Upcoming live games in the England India mens T20 series have programming details that incorrectly relate to the earlier game at chester-lestreet  - example 2pm Saturday.- this issues is recurring for further live games in the series.

On Sky Sports Action tomorrow 5:15pm and 7;55pm the live  games  from the Belfred Super League are described as from the Live:Swiss Super League (a soccer competition with a different sponsor BRACK  whose image is used. - so it is not just a typo they have gone and sourced a logo.

Friday 24th July TNT Sports 3  not handling live programming overuns correctly - The schedules had the Live Commonwealth Games coverage (5:15pm to 9::00) with AFL :Freemantle v West Coast Eagles scheduled at 9:00pm . Presumably either the Now /Next signals were not sent at  or the broadcaster defaulted to the original schedule time rather than what it was actually broadcasting. The overun to the programme was understandable the handling of the overun was not.
