On the zap2it bulletin board, this problem has been noted, and they expect to

download problems
 
Hi all, 
 
 Several of you have reported problems with downloading data. The XML document 
produced contains only stations and lineups, but no schedules, programs, 
cast&crew, or genres. It also does not contain a closing <xtvd> tag, making 
it invalid XML. 
 
 We working to solve the problem, although we may not be able to remedy it 
until Monday (2004-06-07). Thank you for the reports, and we appreciate your 
patience.

Meanwhile, I will try to look at the code and see what changes could be made.  
Perhaps capturing SOAP faults, or at the very least trying to make sure that 
data is not deleted if none is returned.   I'll take a stab at it.
