Off peak storage heater charging duration

New smart meter fitted 3 days ago. My previous radio Teleswitch controlled Economy 7 meters charged up my storage heaters - 10.30-11.30 pm & 4.40-5.30am - so that's 2 hours charging each night off peak.

My new smart meter Economy 7 tariff times are midnight - 7am. Am I still paying for x2 1 hour charging periods each night within that period ? 

I noticed that my smart meter red light was blinking quickly at approx 2.30am.

I had assumed that my new charging times would be midnight-1am & 6-7am.

I don't want to pay for more than x2 1 hour charging periods each night with higher bills.

Your advice please.
