This seems to happen every day. Can't see why. A pain for those of us who get up early and would like to catch up with things. Why can't E4/C4 just leave the interactive service on all the time. The break between 9.00 and 10.30 p.m. is stupid too as a lot can happen at that time.

I would imagine the reason all feeds are the same at 5am, is to ensure that when the watershed hours are over, none of the feeds are showing any materials filmed during this time.

I know you're going to say [COLOR=blue]But they're asleep![/COLOR], but they probably need to be sure. And lets face it, the team at E4 is not exactly going to be wide awake at 4am to 6am, so it's safer for them to auto set this.

Cheers.

Actually it was because on the EPG listings it was supposed to be E4 Preview but because the nights events were brilliant entertainment, E4 left the live service on instead. This came from E4 themselves. At 7am when BBL was officially supposed to start again, all feeds went back to normal.

No, I don't think thats the right answer...

The programs you see on screen are not dependent on the EPG, just as the programs advertised on Teletext are not always what you see!

Tonight on E4 the EPG was saying 18:30 as if, 0700am Big Brother Live, with nothing inbetween, and the normal programmes did come on!

Umm... I think that's what Mark meant. If I interpret him correctly, the EPG listing was incorrect because E4 decided to stay live.

E4 is always on BB Live during the day. There will be no E4 previews until the series is finished.
I expect there are no delayed feeds after 6am as the live feeds will not have been censored for swears and adult conversation (only really bad stuff cut). Therefore to show this later E4 would have to censor it a second time.
