Can no longer pull data from zap2it #13

Description

According to the timestamp I haven't pulled new EPG data for 1 week (July 17 was the last successful). My cron keeps running and it looks to be an issue with zap2it rather than the script. It looks like they may no longer return sorted data like the script scrapped.

Here's the 3rd entry in my log:

I logged out and logged into zap2it.com using my browser to verify that my user/password are correct. They are.

I also tried (after logging in) to pull up this URL: "http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tvlistings/ZCLogin.do?method=getStandAlonePage&aid=tvschedule", but it brings up a blank page and puts up the login form on the left.

So is this a general zap2it issue or something in the script? To me it looks like zap2it is trying to drop free scrapping :(
