EPG update problems

[rjaeger1]

Hi,

using GBPVR 0.95.16 on the system described in my signature. I was looking at the web admin tonight and noticed I only had 3 days of EPG so I tried to manually update and got this "EPG settings are incorrect" alert box. I retyped my login and pass just to be sure, but got the same results. This is using the zap2it EPG service for North America (comcast analog cable).

Here's the log:

Code:

Firewall in the way? Can you reach the zap2it site from your web browser?

Yeah, this is exactly the sort of error a firewall would give you.

i bet you're both right. i changed to mcafee firewall around that time and it would explain the sudden change.

strange that i was able to connect to zap2it via my web browser on the same day (made sure my account wasn't outdated).

now things are working just fine so my firewall might have adjusted to allow the connection.

thank you both.
