[mythtv-users] mythtv misses recordings

[Brian Bodemann]

Chris-
    Do you get whole days of empty listings? If so, and you use the 
north america grabber from xmltv, then you may be getting burned by the 
server no-retry error from zap2it.com.  This can be fixed by reverting 
your ZapListings.pm to revision 1.51 in the xmltv CVS. I may be way off 
but this was a major stumbling block for me.  Here is a link to the 
file: 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/xmltv/xmltv/grab/na/ZapListings.pm?rev=1.51
