It appears that Zap2It was delivering listings again by about
1am PST although the forums at labs.zap2it.com still don't work.

If you are missing data for Friday (or today), running mfdb
manually should fix the problem. If you are using SVN, update
to current for a fix which will verify that the successful
grab actually has new program data before clearing old data.

If you have good data today, it may still be a good idea to
make a backup of your "program" table in case Zap2It's problems
continue.
