I just got an email from Tom at Zap2It, after he found this thread. Apparently they DO have a method<br>
for requesting a time to download the next days programming:<br>

Actually, we already did this. In fact, we've had it from day 1 in<br>
DataDirect. It's the acknowledge() method in the xtvdService, which<br>
probably no one uses. Every just uses the download() method.<br>
<br>
If you consume the WSDL (see<br>
<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://docs.tms.tribune.com/tech/tmsdatadirect/zap2it/tvDataDelivery.wsdl" target="_blank">http://docs.tms.tribune.com/tech/tmsdatadirect/zap2it/tvDataDelivery.wsdl
<img class="TargetAlertIcon" src="chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png"></a>)<br>
in a tool like XMLSpy, you can send an acknowledge() request and you'll get<br>
back a blockedDownloadTime and a suggestedDownloadTime. See section 4.2.4<br>
of the Z2LProtocols.pdf document<br>

<img class="TargetAlertIcon" src="chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png"></a>) for<br>
information on this returned data.<br>
