I just added the 0.5.33 windows binary release to sourceforge.

This is another reminder to anyone using the tv_grab_na grabber that
Zap2IT has informed us that site changes are scheduled for mid-may and
those changes *WILL* break tv_grab_na.

This is even more important to those who redistribute XMLTV with their
applications.  Your code *WILL BREAK*!! tv_grab_na has been retired and
will not be changed to handle the zap2it changes.

tv_grab_na_dd is in it's second release (third if you count the
preview). It was developed with the *COOPERATION* of Zap2it to allow
XMLTV users (and others) access to raw listing data.  Not only do we
get a faster feed with more information, the load on Zap2IT's servers
are reduced.  It's a win-win for everyone and Tribune Media should be
commended!

The tv_grab_na_dd data is free, but requires a short survey to be
filled out every three months.  It's not a big deal at all.  Details
are in the tv_grab_na_dd documentation.
