Probable answer to some problems

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Although I have not used this application, I have used a widget that, like this app, gets its TV listings data from Zap2it Labs, which has announced that it is discontinuing its service, as of September 1, 2007. I have noticed certain significant slow downs and even failures to download data in the TV Tracker widget, since that Zap2it Labs announcement.

This has created a lot of discussion on home theater boards, around the net. The loss of that data from Zap2it Labs, represents a great loss to the home theater community.

I hope that some company will move in to fill the Zap2it Labs gap, but if MacProgrammingGuide does not find a new listings provider before September 1, 2007, then in all likelihood this product, like the TV Tracker widget, will not function after that.
