A US Grabber for ZAP2IT (1 Viewer)

[Harry Kindle]

I have created a grabber for US TV unsing the ZAP2IT.com web site. It has channels for the Boston, MA area.

I am new to this and and feel free to add other channels or SubLinks as needed.

It works pretty well, but there is one bug I can't figure out.

The current Template is:

<span><#START></span>
<a><#TITLE></a>
<z(><a>"<#DESCRIPTION>"</a></z)?>

but sometimes the second template line on the listing page is: <span><#TITLE></span> (useually when TITLE=Paid Programming).

I have tried every variation of the <z></z> I can think of but nothing works.

An example (fogetting the <#DESCRIPTION> for simplicity):

<span><#START></span>
<z(><a><#TITLE></a></z)?>
<z(><span><#TITLE></span></z)?>

When I get a match for the <span><#TITLE></span> case, TITLE is not the title but the information in the opening <span> tag. Very frustrating!

Anyway I hope this grabber servs well, and would apreciate any help with my bug.

Great work! You can set your zip code by adding the zip code variable to your URL. This way, if you have FTA like me and get locals from many different timezones you can feed your zipcode into the URL which shifts the programming into your timezone.
