[mythtv-users] Anyone having problems connecting to Zap2it/Datadirect?

[Azmat]

Hi,

Recently I've been unable to connect to Zap2it from my mythtv box.  I
have an account and it is currently active.  What's interesting is
that I am able to connect to the zap2it site, and even their offshoot
tvlistings.com, from another computer on the same network, but I am
unable to connect to either of these sites from firefox on my mythbox.
 The connection simply times out.  However, I'm able to visit any
other website with no problems whatsoever from my mythbox.  I even
tried creating a new account on zap2it, but still no luck.

I recently  upgraded my mythtv sources to the latest SVN revision, but
I believe I've had this problem for a lot longer because I upgraded
only 2 days ago and I just ran out of guide data yesterday.  So I
believe this has been going on for quite some time.

Here is my mythfilldatabase output:

Is there any way to manually update my guide data while I'm debugging
this problem?  I don't want to miss all the season finale's this week!
 I know mythfilldatabase has an option to read from an xml file, but
how can I export data from zap2it into xml?

Thanks in advance for the help.
