Feature Request: Prior days guide data

Channels DVR Server Feature Requests
#1

A feature I had often used on with some frequency on 'brand X' was being able to page back or refer referring to the prior day's guide data. I think it supported at least 24 hours in the past.

This was handy when something triggered the need for setting up a series pass on something I missed by paging back, selecting and setting it up, or resolving why something I had expected was not recorded.

Wondering if this is a simple feature to enable on ChannelsDVR where all the guide data goes poof as soon as it is in the past.

#2

Knowing how Schedules Direct's licensing was with Gracenote, I imagine a similar requirement to not keep old guide data might be part of Channels' license.

While there is no technical reason why old guide data cannot be preserved and presented, there are likely legal reasons.

#3

It's been requested before.
You can go back a day at zap2it.com which has the same guide data that Channels DVR uses (Gracenote).

#4

I too want to see past guide data. Other guides on other platforms show it, why can't we have it.
