Ok, I've had a deeper look at what's happening here.
The data we're supplying is the data we know about. It's just for QVC, this is pretty sparse. Looking at the file for today, it looks like we only have detailed listing for QVC for the current day.
It's worth noting this is exactly the same data as used by the RadioTimes website. So, if you look at QVC for tomorrow on there, it's Teleshopping all day (as per the file) and same on the 23rd. If you look at the 22nd, it's TBC all day:
http://www.radiotimes.com/tv/tv-listings#{"sd":"22-12-2011 14:00:00"} (http://www.radiotimes.com/tv/tv-listings#%7B%22sd%22:%2222-12-2011%2014:00:00%22%7D)
Whilst this is not ideal, if it's not in the underlying listings yet we obviously can't provide it. We can only send through what's been supplied so far.

Thanks, it's great to know that our efforts are appreciated.

I'll follow up on this in a reply to the message from Simon.
