Zap2It Labs - Dead


I've been using Zap2It Labs for a few years now to provide XML based TV listings for various free software packages (WiRNS, xmltv, DVArchive, etc).

Apparently Zap2It decided to bail on this free service (as of Sept 9).

Here is a discussion about some alternatives, looks like the only free one is TitanTV (here) (and not clear whether they provide XML feed that is compatible with XMLTV, WiRNS, etc)

TV Squad article here
Slashdot picked it up too

Lots more info about it from a WiRNS point of view here, including some talk of the 2.0 release of WiRNS that seems like it may have an alternative source for data instead of Zap2It
