I see 
I thought it was available in Grid view. Would be nice both ways but not a bad thing I guess. Thanks guys
If you click on movies, you will see all movies that are airing for the next 14 days and can schedule them. Same thing for TV shows.
The reason the live tv grid doesn’t have 2 weeks of data is because it would take too long to load. As the Tablo gets more and more optimized, the developers may be able to figure out how to get all two weeks on there in a reasonable time.

Ya, I’m not buying that reason. It’s only text, it shouldn’t take that long to download nor take up that much space. Somebody in power at Tablo thinks this is a good idea (it’s not, obviously) and nobody has the balls to tell them its a crappy idea to only have 24 hours of tv grid. I’m setting here right now at 7pm and I just browsed the grid for primetime. There was nothing good on tonight, how about tomorrow, oh wait, I can’t check tomorrow. Just Stupid.

There are better tools out there and I don’t understand why anyone would want the Live TV grid on the Tablo DVR to have more than 24 hours.
I use Zap2it in a web browser and I can get 2 weeks of programming.
I also prefer to view >24 hours in the grid. I understand that I can see all the prime time shows in another tab; but there are times that I want to browse the grid and see what’s coming in the next few days and schedule the recordings right there, which is something I used to do on the Windows Media Center. If performance is the issue, then maybe default to 24 hr display and have a button on the grid page with the option to show extended listing.
FYI, a feature request has already been submitted back in October: Extend Live TV Grid data to > 1 day
Instead of having Live TV be more than 24 hours, they could add another section that says TV Guide and have days 2-14 available there, with an option to select it to schedule for recording. It could be designed similar to Titan TV. The problem with the TV Shows and Movies search is you have to know the name. If you select channel, it list the shows but NOT what day they are on. They could add a day option somewhere. It appears Tablo wants us to think of shows instead of days. A feature, like 5.1 sound that MOST, if not all besides Tablo have.
I agree with that, and I consider that a very modern interface. The Tablo folks want us to think about the Tablo more like Netflix than the old school DVR. All the shows in the next two weeks are listed and sorted in various ways.
I prefer the Tablo way of doing things.
I prefer the TiVo way of doing things - it displays the guide out like the OP wanted.
But, yeah, there are ways on the Tablo to get what you want - just not as easy as it is on the TiVo.
I still do like my Tablo 
, but the TiVo really shines.
No doubt that the way Tablo has is very modern and slick and I really like it. But there are times that I do prefer an extended listing in the grid for convenience, and Tablo can stay ahead of competition by providing the interface for both modern as well as traditional needs

Exactly…that way you don’t have to look at Titan TV, see a special is coming in a week, then have to search for it on Tablo and schedule it. IF Tablo had a two week schedule, we could see a special is on and schedule it then, without having to search for it.
The other advantage of the grid is that you can easily see how many tuners will be in use at any given time so you can plan your activity accordingly at a glance.

When will more than a 24 hour grid be available for paid subscribers?
Probably never. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this on a future feature list.
Well just my thought, but why if you can’t see more than 1 day without a workaround, would you want to pay for a guide? Don’t you get one day free anyway? Just means you have to find a work around, but wait you have to do that anyway.
There’s a 14 day guide for scheduling purposes. It’s just not available in a grid format.
Guess i’m old fashioned, I prefer seeing what I’ve already got scheduled to record, although it’s not a deal breaker for me. Have the 4 tuner Tablo so I can record 2 shows and watch two more on the two tv’s we have so I just need to get used to this I reckon.

When you want to see what is on for the next 2 weeks, go to TV Shows, Movies, or Sports. There should be a list of all the shows that are scheduled to be aired. If you have the program scheduled to record, you should see an orange triangle in the upper right corner of the thumbnail. Much easier than a grid guide to navigate and see what is coming up. Live TV (with a grid) is good when you want to watch Live TV, but why would you want to see more than a couple of hours worth?
Thank you for that explanation, knew about the TV show, movies and sports tab, did not know about the orange tab showing.
Not a problem. I didn’t know about the orange tab either when I first starting using the Tablo.
