The three-day restriction is in place as older NTL boxes can't handle a full week of data. There's no reason to think the brand new PVR box won't be sufficiently powerful to handle a full week's EPG.

I agree it is frustrating though, when I first got NTL digital, it did have a week of programming (not that you could browse it easily - it took an age to load data for a week ahead). Then one mornign I switched it on and it was gone.
