Pardon the forward, but hopefully this will tame the recent
spike in "XMLTV IS B0RKED!@" postings.

Thank you CC and Martins for quickly noticing that zap2it changed
their site today.

The following modifications to the ZapListings.pm (rcs ver 1.72)
package are required. Your other option is to update ZapListings.pm
manually from cvs to revision 1.73.

  while ( $content=~s/<SELECT(.*)(?=<\/SELECT>)//ios ) {
      my $options=$1;
!      while ( $options=~s/<OPTION value="(\d+)"\s*>([^<]+)<\/OPTION>//ios 
) {
        my $p;
        $p->{id}=$1;
!        $p->{description}=massageText($2);

        my $p;

!        $p->{description}=$2;

Thanks Martins for locating the first fix. I added the massageText() call
because zap2it is also (occasionally) adding '&nbsp;' entries to the end of 
some
provider descriptions.
