Can I see TV programming information a few days in advance?

Is there a way to change the date in the programming guide using the android box and voice remote?

I would like to view what is on a certain channel a few days from today. Might be worth recording!

Or should I ask for another remote or box?

On the voice activated remote, how do you advance the channel listing guide ahead a few days (say 5)?

I am trying to skip forward in the guide.A full day and the fast forward button does not accomplish this. I am using the new remote with voice which has the netflix, crave, and prime video buttons distinguishing it from the previous slim remote. Is there something wrong with my remote? Because the set top box responds to the fast forward by flashing but the guide does not advance. I should note that when watching a recorded playback, The fast forward button will advance the playback thirty seconds. So it would appear that the fast forward button is working but not in the guide to advance me a day. The only way I can get to the guide for next tuesday would be to hold down the navigation right arrow for a very very long time.

You are supposed to long press the fast forward and backward buttons to flip the guide with the new remote. It should flip at a speed of probably 1 second per page. If it's much slower then I guess your DVR is probably not very responsive to other actions right?

I am on cloud PVR and I have tried the press and hold to no Avail. The light on the setup box lights up and stays solid but the guy does not advance. Thanks for your suggestion though.

All other functions on the DVR are ok?
