Cant load EPG (Zap2It)

Not sure, but I think zap2it is still having database problems as mentioned above. Looking at their forums it appears like this may not be resolved yet.

Is anyone still having Zap2it problems? It has apparently lost my lineup choice, and I get an error every time I try to select 'Local Broadcast' for ANY zip code I enter (either mine or some random one I enter).

Same here, when trying to add a lineup if I check local broadcast and hit next the website cant be found. Tried using any LA area zip codes and none work.

Just to get it going I created a lineup from the local cable company and mapped the channels to them.

Anyone's local broadcast lineups showing up in zap2it yet? Mine are not and my data runs out on the 19th

Sounds like a work around might be Manobeer's approach of using the cable lineups, unfortunatly for me my local cable does not have all the channels I can get OTA.

Good news It appears that local broadcasts are back at zap2it. It appears that you will have to re-enter you lineup though, which worked for me!

I had this problem until I reset my account. Zap2it said that it had expired so I renewed and now it's all working again.

Looks like I'm back for another post.. didn't think this would happen. Wink

Okay, so I was wrong.

In the lead post in this thread, I said that the web app was displaying a "your lineup has been automatically deleted" message but that the lineup was still there. Based on the info I had at the time, this was a good conclusion. But I was wrong.

Turns out that we were having a problem across TMSDD with local broadcast lineups. This was the case basically for the entirety of last weekend and this week. It's fixed now. You can re-add a local lineup.

Also, I've asked our DBA to load an old backup file, specifically restoring the local lineups of users who now have ZERO lineups and USED to have a local broadcast lineup on their account. Since it's 4:58 PM right now on a Friday, I don't think this will happen until early next week. Wink

But this doesn't really help most of you, because most of you have multiple lineups--a local broadcast for the OTA HD stuff, and cable/sat for other stuff. We can't restore lost local lineups for these people because we can't infer who lost their local lineup because of this problem and who removed it manually.

Bottom line is: You can re-add your local broadcast lineup now. It sucks that we lost your customized local broadcast lineups, but those are small lineups... I would be feel worse if we lost your customized DirecTV/DISH lineups!

So bottom line it looks like everyone needs to reload their local broadcasts, re-registering would also work, but is not needed.
