Wow, something is definitely up with my router settings. I tried
everything you suggested and nothing worked. Then I plugged my
mythbox directly into my cable modem and then I could download
listings again! Its really weird that no other websites are affected.
I think I remember changing some router settings a few weeks back
when I added a wireless camera to the network. I probably messed up
something at that time. Thanks again for all your help.
