Why would you want to do that? To work around the issue with the
grabber requesting more data then the service is willing to supply?
That should be fixed in the grabber.

 From http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities:
"Each grabber may have an upper limit to the number of days that it can
return data for. If X is larger than that limit, the grabber shall
return no data for the days that it lacks data for, print a warning to
stderr, and exit with an error-code."


If its something else I would suggest to just let the grabber do its
thing. If you need something super special you can wrap your grabber
into a script. e.g. tv_grab_uk_atlas_only_one_week that appends
"--days 7" at the end of the command line.
But there is a likely reason that tvheadend doesn't support that. No
one needed it.

 From http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities:
"The default number of days is 'as many as possible'."


@Geoff, you could set the default to 14 days and remove the DST
adjustment that adds an extra hour.

If its wrong on Astra then it may be an error at the source aka
upstream of PA. Is it at least consistently wrong over all guide
sources?
Btw, how is it wrong?
