I patched the list of supported providers in my own local copy like so:

    // wya010
    'WOW': {
        'name': 'WOW!',
        'username_field': 'username',
        'password_field': 'password'
    },
    // hin020-02

I still have gotten nowhere. I can provide credentials for this Adobe Pass provider.

@dstftw I sent you an email with the login information.

[dstftw]

I've no interest working on that.

[nhubbard]

@dstftw I would really like to try to work on it, but I have no clue where to start at in implementing it. If you could give me a couple pointers, I could try to implement it on my own.
I also sent the account information because you were the one that added the TV provider account needed label. Sorry about that.
