Wouldn't surprise me if they were blocking some user-agents to try to stop
people from doing exactly what we're doing ;o)
OK, just wanted to confirm this isn't something that's a known problem
with an easy fix or anything, I'll spend some time looking at it over the
weekend and see what I come up with.

I'm getting this too, both for configuration and grabbing. It is a
recent development.

Hmm. I wonder if they have started deliberately blocking certain user
agents?

It sounds like the layout may have changed completely and tv_grab_na
will need some rewriting. I'll wait to see what the grabber's author
has to say.
I suppose this means the next XMLTV release should be delayed until
all the grabbers are working again... maybe I should have pushed it
out while I still could :-(.
Thanks for reporting this, I can't say when it will be fixed but I'm
sure you're not the only one affected.
