Request for additional PSIP data

[Will]

Jimboy, WPXE ION, and others:

Can you add PSIP data out 48-72 (or more) hours please?  Your channels (and WTMJ) are already sending the most data of any locals, and it is appreciated.  With TVGOS having pulled the plug, users of certain equipment like the DTVPal DVR I own must rely on the PSIP data sent out by each station to view guide data.  

Please see the attached pic for an example.

Also, are there any other station engineers who frequent this site?  I am trying to contact all of them with the same request.  I started with PBS, but could only find the "contact us" section on their website.  After a few days, I haven't gotten a response.  If anyone has contact info, I would appreciate it!

Thanks,
Will

One of the reasons why stations don't bother to do more than the minimum 12 hours of data is because of the limited memory in the devices that use it. They only show so much data.

Any idea how far your unit will display?

FYI - WCGV is now at 72 hours (up from 36).  Also WVTV....
I'm curious to know how much you can see now.

Also....the person who played the part of WPXE ION I believe no longer works there.

Thanks Jimboy.  My device will show up to 7 days out, but being able to see 72 hours is fantastic.

Will, I have been following you on AVS and here and as a Pal DVR user like yourself I desprately would like to see more PSIP or TVGOS like data in the 3-7 day range.  Is there anything I can do to help our cause?

Jimboy was awesome and put his stations to 72 hours right away (thanks again!) but I've not had any luck with the contact forms at the other stations.  Maybe we should use the web contact forms / email and call to ask as well.  Remember, you catch more flies with honey!  I will try to do this tonight.
