I am about to make that change to epg2timers now.
I am planning to release epg2timers 0.9.3 tomorrow.
I am thinking of making the limit configurable (not a hardcoded
28 days) and set the default to 7 days.
Is anyone out there running epg2timers less than once a week?
(among those, who run it at all, of course ;-)
I believe 7 days is a nice default, as it speeds up things
and creates less pages of timer display.
Is that OK with everyone?

Carsten.
