An additional problem- registering a new account on their forum didn't send the activation email. If someone could post to thetvdb.com forum about that, much appreciated

I am currently having this problem as well, as of 1:18AM EST. Kind of annoying, but I know nothing can be done by anyone here.

I suppose any free web site is "entitled" to some downtime occasionally 
I have the same problem here but will just try again tomorrow. There was a lot of season starters today; maybe the site is just overloaded....
Edit: never mind; I guess this is an issue with DNS not propagating properly for everyone. TTL is set to 86400 so so it should have been all clear by now, though.

Huge LOL! I have had the same database for the last year, tonight of all nights I decide time to clean house. Wow, what bad luck. I am just glad I found this thread before I started going nuts. Using the latest TVDB scraper, everything seems to work but did run across a few shows that just refuse to update.
Not working:
Jericho 2006 (always pulls 2005 even when I specify 2006)
BSG (same as Jericho, always pulls the 70's version)
Heroes (finds the show but does not pull down info)
Babylon 5 (same as Heroes)
Dexter (same as Heroes)
True Blood (same as Heroes)
I will give it a day or two.
Thanks for the information.

@ C-Qual
Does the link you provided have the fix for after the TVDB was moved to the other server? or is it the same TVDB.xml that was packed with the 9-19-08 release of XBMC compiled by T3CH?
Answered my own question by replacing the one I had with the one from the SVN.......It does NOT work, for those wondering.
Can't scrape info for Family Guy, American Dad, Robot Chicken, Sons of Anarchy, and basically everything I have in my library.

I was experiencing issues earlier today, and now re-scanning the same non-working show (Samurai Champloo) worked fine. See the timestamp on this post.
As others have said this was a server side issue for the TVDB site and has NOTHING to do with XBMC itself. As a result there are NO changes that must be made to your local copy of XBMC to "make it work". I seriously don't understand how some of the people posting in this thread missed that point, but I'm re-stating it here so maybe you'll finally get it...

@ SleepyP....
Go back to bed, cause you ain't telling me something I don't already know about the server switch
( YOU re-check the posts.....I was the first person to mention the server switch)
And I'm glad you can scrape for your lil' Japanese Cartoon.....but I was only stating which shows WERE NOT working...just because your show scraped doesn't mean anything is fixed.
I scraped at 9:30 for Diary of a Call Girl ( which did not work lastnight)....worked! Also scraped for Wolverine and the X-Men......worked!
I'm not jumping down anyones throat for mentioning what doesn't work for them.....just stating the problems I have seen so far.
So.....What is the problem with that?

Some of us are posting since, non-related to TVDB, it's still not working. Just tried using 'TVDB', 'TV.COM', AND 'TVRAGE' scrapers, and not retrieving any show episode's info's. Just a few show titles, nothing else.
No changes on my xbox, other then any daily SVN's i build for both pc and xbox. So to verify, you are saying TV.COM and TVRage scrapers are working perfectly fine for you then? Scraping ALL episode info and all
Seems fishy since some are posting this problem and not simply tvdb scraper that's causing this, but the others as well, which apparently would be something XBMC related. Just wanting to be sure is all.
