False Broadcasting?

To me, live TV means watching a program - often a sports event - at exactly the same time that event is happening. There is definite value in this, and that is why paid TV providers such as Sky here in New Zealand have so many subscribers.

Can Sky therefore explain why last night, when we were watching supposed live coverage of the Australian Open tennis tournament, that their coverage was probably 1-2 hours behind what was actually happening? How did we know? We surfed over to Sky news and got details of the Lleyton Hewitt vs. Robin Vik match which was two sets ahead of the match we were watching.
