Looks like a one hour delay anyway.

I haven't seen the "7:30" update, so don't know an official status. Other places are reporting that the damaged section was replaced with another already.
The tiles that were damaged were on a metal "carrier plate" on the OMS pod, so evidently replacing the whole thing was a viable option.
The "one hour delay" must mean actual work time, not flight delay. The launch window remains as it was due to the ISS orbit. A one DAY delay would be possible to hit a new launch time on Thursday (Cape time.)

Ha, that's what you get when a load of media are in one place.
Spoke to an engineer, he said it wasn't an issue at all. Quick fix, problem sorted.
