Wimbeldon Rain Delays WARNING!!!
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Dajad

Owing to rain delays, the Henman/Isanisavitch match from Friday was to be played today. Well, today was rained out and both that semi-final match and the women's final are now scheduled for tomorrow.

TiVo's original settings for the men's finals should capture the women's finals. BUT, you'll probably need to set your TiVo manually a few hours earlier to catch the men's semi final. Then, you'll need to set your TiVo's for manual recording of the men's final currently set to be played on Monday.

The head Wimbledon guy said there is a small chance the men's final will be played tomorrow after the women's final but he thought it unlikely.

Either way, if you are counting on TiVo to record any of this, the only thing that looks certain is that the Henman/Williams final will be caught by the currently scheduled men's final TiVo slot. All bets are off otherwise. I'll advise here if and when I learn more details.

Please, if others here definitive information on when things will be played and on which channels they will be broadcast, please post here as well.

Assuming you've got the Season Pass set, or a title Wishlist set to 'Tennis', why wouldn't we pick up Monday's broadcast?

I certainly do not want to miss the end of the Henman-Ivanisevic Semi-Final which is one of the most exciting matches ever!

Because NBC might not get the proper program schedule out to Tribune in time, and/or Tribune might not get the proper program schedule out to your TiVo in time. So keep an eye on the To Do list, and the TV listings in the newspaper sports section, just in case.

I'm interested in this because NBC has been fairly heavily promoting the fact that they're going to be closed-captioning their soap operas in Spanish starting on Monday, July 9...but now it looks like they won't air that day because of the tennis.

The men's final is now scheduled for Monday both:

1. live on MSNBC at 7:00 a.m. ET and 4:00 a.m. PT

2. replay on NBC at 10 AM in ALL TIME ZONES

As of 11;10 am PT this has not made my TiVo's schedule so I will be setting it for a manual recording at 4:00 am.
