something wrong with Zap2it?

[Ken34]

recently, when i try to update the listings with zap2it, it only updates certain channels, and most of the channels, like my local channels(WB, Fox etc) it leaves blank...I need to set some stuff to record today(saturday) and I cant, because there is no listings..what is going on?

Mine hasn't worked since Thursday regardless of the time I try and update. I get the following error:

Never mind, my account was expired. The error looked like a server too busy error so I didn't check the account first. Time to put a reminder on my calendar...

Mine is working now. I'm not sure exactly why, but it worked on one machine hours before another. The connection had been down/refused for most of the day today.

zap2it is still having problems, and often (but not always) returning the error 500 - internal server error. I'm sure it'll be addressed soon. I imagine they're not at full staff numbers over christmas/newyear.

Not working for me either. I am able to retrieve the zap2it info but it stays stuck at processing ( I had it open for over an hour). Doesn't really affect recording abilities. I created a channel manually in EPG settings and use my satellite auto tuner, along with GBPVR's manual recording feature to record tv programs.

Probably a stupid question but...what is the name of the file that the EPG process writes into?

XML file?

So I really picked a crappy time to rebuild my PVR. 24 is about to start along with other shows that just picked up their new episodes.

I can't pull any data from Zap2It. I got up this morning and it did pull and I watched the news. It only pulled for the first 4 days though. I up'd the time to 10 days in order to grab all my recording information to book my shows and now it won't play at all. It will play a recorded show and the Haupage software is what is currently allowing me to view the television at all.

Is there another source that I can pull from? I have had issues with Zap2it over the last month or so trying to configure my EPG. It would tell me my settings were off but I could log into the site fine but they wouldnt' update. So I know they have had problems for awhile and I am a bit hesitant to not get my programming back lined up.

any thoughts would be appreciated.
