14 day EPG.

If I remember correctly it was at least 4 hours after that I was looking
and myth still wasn't up to date. I confirmed that the updates had
definitely been put out by using tv_grab_dvb and they were all there.

I'll be keeping an eye on it more closely next time. At least I now know
it is supposed to work, so I can go bug hunting if required.

Cheers,

Martin.
