The most they provide is what's currently showing and what's on next.

I subscribe to IceTV to get my program guide which is much better and good for 7 days. There are still gaps though as ultimately the IceTV guide relies on data provided by the various stations. Channel 9 are particularly bad in this respect e.g. tonghts 7:30 slot is shown as TBA.
I couldn't disagree more. Our Free-to-Air TV guide is excellent for all free-to-air channels. I can see the program guide for every channel, up to 5-odd days in advance. I can set timer recordings and they work everytime (adding 5 minutes on either side to compensate for time-shift). Sometimes there are minimal gaps, but it never affects my programming.

I love the advance free-to-air guides.
