I'll give you an example:
use the search function and look for 'Pippi in Taka-Tuka-Land'

It'll air on Junior at 15:55 on Dec. 25th.
Add this to your 'Merkliste' and have a look at your 'Merkliste'. I'll appear on Nov. 25th prompting epg2timers to make a timer for Nov 25th.
This is no error of epg2timers. It's tvtv.de's fault.

To my relief I found out, that from Nov 26th on the entry will be moved to the correct spot on Dec 25th on the 'Merkliste'.

It appears to me, that tvtv.de supports day AND month info, just the Merkliste as it is displayed (and downloaded by epg2timers) fails to provide the month info.

CU,
Christian.
