[mythtv-users] XMLTV is Broken in North America

[Robert Schultz]

Just to let everyone know, before we start seeing about a billion posts 
about it, xmltv is broken in north america.
This means you won't be able to install MythTV, nor update it's schedule 
database.

The error you'll see is:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/XMLTV/ZapListings.pm line 589


According to the xmltv-users list:

TV_GRAB_NA is broken due to changes made at zap2it.com.  A fix is under 
investigation.


Until it's fixed, we're out of luck.
Is it a good idea to base everything on a single site? (zap2it.com)
Isn't there some sort of more dependably, 'open' solution?
