Default Where Has PTVL Gone?

I have been using Pocket TV Listings from Thumbsupsoft for a couple of years now. Since yesterday, I have been receiving errors when I try to update my listings. I went to the PTVL web site to check their forums to see if anyone else was having problems, but couldn't get the web site to load. Is PTVL gone or is the web site just having problems?

I'm not having any problems with downloading my data (at least that I can see). I'm downloading data from Zap2It. I, too, cannot get to the ptvl.thumbsoft.com website (or anything in the thumbsoft.com domain), but hopefully it's just a temporary glitch.

I downloaded today's listings today so it appears to be OK. Try this url http://labs.zap2it.com/ztvws/ztvws_l...MS01-1,00.html

I'm having the same problem. When I start Weblink, it tries to check for a software update and when it can't connect to PTVL's website, it gives up and will not proceed.

This has been happening that last couple of days.

Yep, that's the exact problem I've been experiencing. At least I'm not alone.

I get that error when I actually start the program (i.e. when I have to reboot which I did this morning). But my program data is still downloaded.

I also get that error, but it allows me to check an 'ok' box or something like that and then it continues on to the zap2it site and downloads the listings.

I've been getting the same error....it tells you that there is an error but then goes ahead and gives you the detail. A little wierd, but it's still working.

Same. But worse. A hard drive failure means having to re-download the "worker" weblink and I can't since PVTL is down. The actual data is from another site.... zap2it. This is why it works but at present you can't update the actual app. :cry:

I am having the same issues as everyone else... with the exception that I am not able to proceed past the update check.
