Zap2EPG not working

I guess Zap2it has been replaced with NewsNation which broke Zap2EPG. Some people have reported that Gracenote will work. Has anyone come up with a modification to Zap2EPG to use Gracenote for TV listings or some other workaround for using TVHeadend EPG grabber in the US?

Wow!! I just checked my Tvheadend server and you are correct, no guide data.

Workarounds have been posted on the Kodi and LE forums. I hope users consider more legitimate source like Schedules Direct first though.

A sad thing for me is that the old zap2.com web site was a useful reference for PVR support. To see it go down potentially because of data load from users misusing the site with heavly scraping against the Terms of Service is a shame. True the same workaround currently exists to access the full site online, but who knows how long that can continue?
