All of the EPG is OK for 7 days except for Ch. 4, it's clones and some, I
assume, associated channels. These are OK for 5 days only.
Any idea why, please? It's a bit of a nuisance as I like to check what's on
in a week's timeon each day.

Are you using Freesat or Freesat-from-Sky?

6 and a bit here; and only Channel 4 itself.
On my Manhattan box; The EPG for Channel 4 both HD & SD and the +1,
stops after The King of Queens at 06.45 on the 27th.
All other channels are OK as far as I can see.

Ditto here on a Humax Freesat box. That's Ch4 and Ch4HD. the epg data
for Ch4+1 goes on for an hour longer.

I noticed a problem yesterday, but didn't look at the details. I may be
wrong but I think it was worse then.

At the moment the Ch4 epg info stops at 06:10, Mon 27 Mar, just the same
as yesterday.

Film4, More4 and 4seven have programme info up to the end of Tue, 28
Mar, like the rest of the channels.

Yes, it was last night.
Nothing on C4 worth watching though, as usual.
