• There is now a Today-week guide that shows the upcoming shows beginning with today (or even yesterday) instead of the default Monday-Sunday guide.
  
• You can choose to display more upcoming shows than just 7 days (including today). The Monday-week guide can also display 14 days (with next week's shows at the end of each day's list. The Today-week guide can display 15 upcoming days (Today + 2 weeks) plus the option of including Yesterday in the list.
  
• The TV Guide now uses actual future episodes for displaying a show name on a particular date (not the former "normally appears on these days" info), so each day that has a show visible has real data behind it.
  
• A show with multiple shows per week will display each show's unique info (title, episode num, etc.) rather than only showing the one next episode's info. (This does not include broadcast time, which is a per-show item in the available data, not per episode.)
  
• A show can appear multiple times per day if there are going to be multiple shows that day.
  
• Updating should be much faster. For instance, it typically takes my computer about 5 seconds to do an update after an 8 hour wait.
  
• Since updating is more efficient, it occurs more frequently -- every 8 hours by default (see the settings to change this). The update times are elapsed times (not fixed at a particular hour and minute) which should help to distribute the updating over a wider range of times (the old code used to update most people at their local midnight hour).
  
• A failure to grab updates does not cause shows to vanish from the list (which seemed to happen a lot before).
  
• The way that dates get displayed for the future episodes can be a little more friendly now, with the day-of-the-week included and the current year omitted. This is particularly nice for a skin that shows next-show info as you visit a show's folder. Some examples (these in the US English form): "Sat, Feb 1" or "Tue, Dec 31, 2013". To see dates like this you need to enable it in the settings.
  
• Changing the update values in the settings now affects the running background-updating process w/o needing to restart xbmc.
  
• The GUI will now notice if the background updater is doing an update and just wait for it to finish (if it was time for a GUI-proc initiated update). (The older code would do multiple simultaneous updates in such a situation.)
  
• Switching users no longer results in a proliferation of extra background update processes (which would all do redundant update work at the same time in the old code).
  
• If the addon updates, the old background updater is stopped and a new one started.
  

• The Status field is more limited than before, though I improve the 3 values that TheTVDB provides (empty, Continuing, Ended) and try to intuit a few more based on the show's data. See the README.txt for the shorter list.

2. The airtime seems to be local (no adjustment for time diff).

This doesnt seem to work.
