Nope...they're still there.  The renewal link was also up, so I went through 
all that and now I'm supposed to be good to go until February.  I still can't 
download channel lineups, though.  I've sent mail to Zap2it Labs about this 
problem, but haven't gotten a reply from them yet.

Just for grins, I also deleted the lineups and recreated them on Zap2it's end. 
  That didn't make any difference.  I'm now trying to rebuild the MythTV 
binaries (I'm running Gentoo, so that's simple), but I'm not hopeful that 
that'll make a difference.  I'm just about at my wits' end with this problem. 
Everything's been running great for months, and now it's all falling apart.
