ESPN do their own score box but that's also top left.

So the reason it's 2day instead of today is because of the channel they are on according to Clare.

Seems to be a horizontal positioning issue with the pictures coming from SW19 at the moment on BBC1 and BBC2, I can see the top few lines of the screen below a black bar at the bottom.

That's a missing/mistimed reference causing that !

When other networks around the world show Wimbledon do they use BBC's top of screen score board or use what is better eg the bottom of screen and there own graphics ?

That scoreboard is on the world feed. The United States is the only country not to take that and has always produced it's own. IIRC the reason it's on the top is due to the camera positioning.

It was affecting BBC 1 and 2, but not the red button channels interestingly.

Interesting, perhaps it was out of sync hitting Red Bee's Tx router, but OK for the Red Button stuff, which are just free running (in terms of reference) channels. I can't remember the last time I've seen a reference error
from an OB or outside source (excluding news feeds) . Were BBC 1 and 2 showing the same pictures at that time, or each doing their own thing ?

Hang on, in that case why haven't the BBC branding police ordered it be called Wimbledon TWODay ?

Each covering different matches (I think Serena Williams was on 1?). The screenshot above is from BBC Two via iPlayer.

Well the new format Wimbledon 2day was a waste of time as they haven't changed the format!

It's exactly the same except with everyone stood up round a table, Balding instead of Inverdale, and a line up of mostly mute people stood in the background. I was expecting a full on 'Today at the Games' style show, but as nothing has changed why bother changing the name!

I read elsewhere, that one of the Red Button streams had the commentary out of phase on L/R, not doing very well so far !

The same problem has popped up when Salford are playing out a recording from Sky Sports during a BBC Sports Centre report on the news; I wonder if the problem above originates from there.

EDIT: Thinking about it, I am not sure if there's a plain black bar, or if it loops round (as it were) in that image. Either way, it's a very similar problem visually.
