I'm impressed. Very neat and clean solution to automate hosts file updating. Thanks a million!

For a windows system zap2it workaround. Your logon information works at gracenote site.

nslookup tvlistings.gracenote.com

What ever ipaddress/s comes back add those ipaddresses to your hosts file at c:Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
(e.g.
52.32.149.165 tvlistings.zap2it.com #replacement for sudden removal of zap2it to tvlistings.gracenote.com
54.212.214.31 tvlistings.zap2it.com #replacement for sudden removal of zap2it to tvlistings.gracenote.com
34.212.143.155 tvlistings.zap2it.com #replacement for sudden removal of zap2it to tvlistings.gracenote.com
).

example batch file (.bat) to run as a scheduled task
"C:\Program Files\Zap2XML\zap2xml.exe" -u yourusernamegoeshere -p yourpassword -d 14 -o "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\xmltv\tvguide.xml"

This should fix the issue and you will get your tv listings working again as they did prior to the abrupt change of domain name change.
