That's expected as that is what sky sports main event does - it simulcasts the "top" sporting event at the time and when programming overruns it will get cut off on that channel for whatever is scheduled next.

Its always best to watch to watch on the sport's dedicated sky sports channels so sky sports darts in this case, as they will always show the full event regardless of whether it overruns or not.

But that becomes a problem when you try to playlist it. It tends to pick up on the main event channel and not necessarily the darts channel. Had loads of problems with this with the tennis this summer, missing lots of ends of matches.

This problem as been discussed, and was escalated but no fix yet.

Playlists and live sports perhaps not football, does not work well!
