Hello everybody.

For the last couple years I've been getting my EPG data via zap2it.com. The data is downloaded and processed by the zap2xml.pl perl script.

It appears as though recently (maybe 10 days ago), zap2it has changed their web interface, so the perl script is no longer able to scrape the EPG data from their web site. I don't anticipate any quick fixes by the people the originally wrote the perl script.

 You may not have anticipated them, but the script has been fixed to work with the new zap2it.com site.  Be sure to read all the release notes for 2018, though, as the changes to the site mean changes in how it all works.  If you set up starred favorites, be sure to take note of the new -8 option, otherwise you may get duplicate channel entries.

Go to http://zap2xml.hosterbox.net/ to find the most recent release (alternate link: http://zap2xml.mooo.com/)

I note you say you switched to using TV Guide and that is another option, but I have found TV Guide's listings to be slightly less accurate outside of prime time.  YMMV depending on which channels you are using.
