I'm using a different grabber (tv_grab_nl_py) and I experience the same problem: No programs available after 19 September 02:00. It looks like you can only download today and tomorrow from now on.

yep, seems like tvgids has no info after 18-sept.. we'll have to wait and see if this changes the comming days.

Well no change here. Depending on the length of the program, scheduling of the channels ends somewhere during the day of the 19th of September!

Today (Sep. 18th) like I expected, no scheduling* for Dutch TV programs after September 18th (and early hours 19th).

it seems to be a server crash at tvgids (according to a meedio forummember)

Omroep.nl (http://gids.omroep.nl/?medium=TV ) has schedules for the days after today, TVGids does not even have tomorrow. I fear it is not just rebooting a server, but "end of contract"? They had a week to reboot that server. AKN provides TVGids.nl, a subset of the Dutch media landscape. Should we start writing new grabbers?

I just called TVGids.nl. I found a mobile phone number in an auto-reply. Very handy, Outlook. TVGids had technical difficulties. Everything should be working again very soon. They continu to operate. Some search functions and the personal TV guide are not operational yet, but will be soon.

Works!
