One problem I had initially was that when you enter your zap2it name  
and password the "name" of the lineup at the top of the page is  
blank. Unless you enter a name your effort at retrieving will be wasted.

You then need to use that lineup name when you enter the capture card  
data in the input connections. You can then tell it to obtain channel  
data from the source (I'm doing this from memory, I don't recall the  
exact screen.

It would be a good idea if the fetch lineup function would not let  
you proceed without a name, but it does.

So, make sure your lineup has a name, and that the name is entered in  
the appropriate place.

Don't know if this is your problem or not, but check it out.
