I've now looked into this and discovered that, of the two possible places
to enable EIT, I'd only disabled it in one. I've now disabled the second
and am trying to determine if certain of my issues are resolved.

even after I've disabled EIT and re-run mythfilldatabase. On my old MythTV
machine, the guide data for those OTA channels--as for the cable channels I
can bring in--extends out close to 2 weeks.

it was on my old MythTV machine--close to two weeks worth.

Are you using  "--dd-grab-all" (might not be exact syntax) with
mythfilldatabase? I do and get two weeks on an OTA source as well as a
cable source.
