The expanded EPG (Entire USA) coverage will come no later than November 1st. We are going to see if we can push that up earlier but it adds a significant additional monthly cost to our expenses. That's why we haven't done it yet.

If the expense is an issue, why not opt to charge a fee for new areas brought on line. This way you could help cover the expense and also determine what areas need doing when. Maybe you could create a poll to find out where the high demand is and start there, as I am in the UK and would much perfer Sage Service rather then XXMLTV as I can only get 3 days at a time!

is xmltv limited to 3 days because of the site it's grabbing from?

where i am in the US i can grab 14 days...the tv_grab_na grabs from zap2it i believe

I'm sorry to say I am not an expert at xmltv, all I know is that after 3 days it says it can not find any more data and is 'asumming' only 3 days. I would love to get the full 14 days if I could, it's the only thing that's keeping me from replacingmy Tivo's all together.

when you run XMLTV, add --days 14 as an option to the end and that should give you 14 days if the UK grabber is capable of that

Yeah I heard somewhere that some of the grabbers can only get 3 days of data. Thats a shame

Unfortunately I do have the --14 days in the script, but it never seems to get passed day 5, and most of the time sticks to 3 days worth of data.
